The process of becoming barbaric, or of making something more crude, violent, or uncivilized.
From 'barbarize' (to make barbaric) plus the noun-forming suffix '-ation.' Ultimately from Latin 'barbarus,' originally meaning 'foreign' or 'strange.'
The word 'barbarization' is actually biased—Europeans used it to describe cultures they conquered, when really it just meant 'different from us.'
