Etymology

The term 'globalized' is derived from the word 'global', which originates from the Latin 'globus', meaning 'sphere' or 'ball'. It began to gain popularity in the mid-20th century as international trade and communication became more prevalent due to advancements in technology and transportation. As nations began to engage in more interconnected economic practices, the concept of globalization emerged, leading to the coining of the term 'globalization'. By the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the implications and effects of globalization became central topics in various fields including economics, politics, and sociology. The prefix 'global-' indicates a worldwide or universal scope, while the suffix '-ized' implies a process of transformation, together illustrating the significant changes brought about by global interconnectivity.
