Derived from the French 'centralisation', built upon the root 'central' (from Latin 'centralis', from 'centrum', meaning 'center') combined with the suffix '-isation'. It entered political and administrative terminology in the late 18th and early 19th centuries during the formation of modern nation-states to describe the concentration of power and governance into a single central authority.
