Have you ever thought about the process of axiomatization in math?

Not really, but it sounds interesting!

Root Explanation

Axiomatization → It is formed from "axioma" (from Greek "axiōma", meaning that which is deemed worthy or self-evident) and "-ization" (meaning the process of making or becoming). The word refers to the process of establishing something as an axiom or self-evident truth.

Memory Tip

Think of 'axioma' meaning something that is considered self-evident, and '-ization' as the process of making it so. This helps you remember that 'axiomatization' is the process of establishing something as a self-evident truth.
