renationalising
Restoring public ownership
Renationalising is the British spelling of renationalizing—returning previously privatised industries or assets to government ownership.
The term appears frequently in political discourse about utilities, railways, and healthcare: Labour pledged to begin renationalising the rail network.
The process reverses earlier privatisation, bringing services back under state control.
