Etymology
The term 'denationalized' is derived from the prefix 'de-', meaning removal or reversal, and 'nationalized', which comes from the Latin root 'natio' meaning birth or nation. The concept of nationalization emerged during the 19th and early 20th centuries as governments took control of industries to ensure public access and regulate resources. Denationalization became more prominent in the late 20th century, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s, as many countries transitioned from centrally planned economies to market-based systems, often motivated by the perceived inefficiencies of state-run enterprises and the desire to attract foreign investment.
