Europeanize (verb):
To Europeanize means to adopt or assimilate the characteristics, values, customs, or practices that are typical or associated with Europe or European countries, particularly in terms of politics, culture, social structures, or economic integration. It refers to the process of becoming more European or conforming to European norms, standards, or systems.
In politics, Europeanization can indicate the harmonization of domestic policies with those of the European Union (EU) member states, with the aim of fostering cooperation, integration, and alignment. It involves implementing EU laws, regulations, or directives, and complying with specific political, legal, or administrative requirements set by European institutions.
In terms of culture, Europeanization involves the diffusion and influence of European values, traditions, arts, and lifestyles on societies or individuals outside Europe. It can include the adoption of European languages, fashion, music, cuisine, or other cultural elements. Europeanization can facilitate cultural exchange, multiculturalism, or the spread of certain European ideologies or perspectives on social issues.
Economic Europeanization entails the integration of national economies into the European single market, characterized by the free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor. It may involve adopting EU standards, regulations, or trade policies, and participating in initiatives such as the Eurozone or the Schengen Area.
Overall, Europeanize denotes the process of conforming to or adopting European characteristics, principles, policies, or systems in diverse areas, primarily influenced by the European Union, European culture, or European countries.
The word "europeanize" is derived from the combination of the word "European" and the suffix "-ize".
The term "European" originated from the Latin word "europa", which derived from Greek mythology. Europa was a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus, the Greek god. The name "Europa" translates to "wide face", derived from the Greek words "eurys" meaning "wide" and "ops" meaning "face". As Greek and Latin evolved, the term "European" came to refer to the people and culture of the continent of Europe.
The suffix "-ize" comes from the Greek suffix "-izein", which was adapted into Latin as "-izare". This suffix was used to form verbs from nouns and adjectives, indicating the process of making or becoming something. Over time, the "-ize" suffix was adopted into English, where it still serves the same purpose.
