The illegalization process often involves a thorough analysis of the potential risks or negative consequences associated with the targeted behavior, along with considering societal values and principles.
The term "illegalize" emphasizes the action taken to establish a clear legal stance on a particular matter, shaping public perception, and providing a basis for law enforcement agencies to intervene and penalize individuals or organizations found in violation of the newly established prohibition.

Etymology of ILLEGALIZE
The word "illegalize" is formed through the combination of the prefix "illegal-" and the verb-suffix "-ize".
The term "illegal" originated from the Latin word "illegalis", derived from "in-" meaning "not" and "lex" meaning "law". It found its way into Middle English as "illegal" during the 15th century, referring to something that is prohibited or against the law.
The suffix "-ize" comes from Greek, more specifically from the suffix "-izein" which meant "to make" or "to cause". It was borrowed into English via Latin or French and is used to form verbs suggesting the act, process, or result of a specified action.
Combining "illegal-" and "-ize" results in "illegalize", which means to make something illegal or to enact legislation to prohibit an action or behavior.
