renationalized
Returned to government
Renationalized means returned to state or government ownership after having been privatized.
Industries that were once public, sold to private interests, and then brought back under government control have been renationalized: The railway was renationalized after years of poor private management.
The term appears most often in discussions of utilities, transportation, and natural resources.
