Etymology
The word 'naturalizing' comes from the root 'natural', which is derived from the Latin word 'natura', meaning 'birth' or 'nature'. The term began to be used extensively in the context of citizenship in the 18th century. The process of naturalization has evolved over time as countries have developed their immigration laws and policies. Initially, naturalization was primarily based on full assimilation into the culture and legal systems of the host country. In the modern era, the concept of naturalizing has come to emphasize legal procedures that grant rights and privileges associated with citizenship, reflecting a broader view of nationality that includes rights-based citizenship.
