institutionalised
Made officially standard
Institutionalised is the British spelling of institutionalized.
To be institutionalised is to be placed in an institution—a psychiatric facility, prison, or care home—often for an extended period.
The word also describes someone so adapted to institutional life that they struggle to function outside it: After thirty years inside, he was completely institutionalised.
More broadly, practices become institutionalised when they're embedded in an organization's culture or society's norms: Corruption had become institutionalised at every level.
