Root Explanation

Mobilization → It is formed from "mobilis" (meaning movable) and "-ation" (meaning the action or process of). The word "mobilization" refers to the process of making something movable or ready for action.

Memory Tip

Think of 'movable' ('mobilis') and the action of making it ready ('-ation') — that's why mobilization means preparing something to be moved or acted upon.
