Root Explanation

Normalization → It is formed from "normal" (from Latin "norma", meaning a rule or pattern) and "-ization" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating an action or process). The word "normalization" refers to the process of making something conform to a standard or norm.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'rule' ('norma') that helps things become 'standard' or 'normal' — that's what normalization means.
