Root Explanation

Maximization → It is formed from "maximus" (meaning greatest) and "-ization" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating a process or action). The word "maximization" refers to the process of making something as great or as large as possible.

Memory Tip

Think of 'greatest' ('maximus') and the process of making it happen ('-ization') — that's why maximization means making something the greatest it can be.
