Etymology
'adverbialization' originates from the combination of 'adverbial' and the suffix '-ization', where 'adverbial' refers to something related to an adverb, and '-ization' denotes the process of making or becoming.
'Adverbial' comes from the Latin word 'adverbialis', and '-ization' is a common English suffix used to form nouns indicating a process or result.
Initially, it meant 'the process of making something adverbial', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
