Formulisation

/ˌfɔːmjulaɪˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

British spelling of formularization; the process of turning something into a formula or expressing it in a systematic, standardized way.

Etymology

British variant of 'formularization' using '-isation' (British English) instead of '-ization' (American English). Both derive from 'formularise/formularize' + '-ation'.

Kelly Says

The British preference for '-isation' vs. American '-ization' is itself a formularization—English speaking countries formularized their spelling differently after independence, a linguistic split that still exists.
