nationalise
Transfer to government
Nationalise is the British spelling of nationalize—to transfer private industry or assets to government ownership and control.
A country might nationalise railways, banks, or oil companies: The government nationalised the steel industry in 1967.
The opposite is privatise.
Nationalisation often accompanies political shifts toward socialism or responses to economic crisis.
