“Denuclearization”? “Evangelization”? “Virtualization”? “Securitization”?! Yet somehow “vocalization”, “initialization”, “compartmentalization”, “computerization”, “sexualization”, “pasteurization”, “polymerization”, “formalization”… didn’t make the cut.

I suppose the COCA Corpus of Contemporary English doesn’t include too many math books. “Factorization” didn’t make it.
