renationalizes
Returns to state
Renationalizes means to return a previously privatized industry, company, or asset back to government ownership or control.
This typically happens when a nationalized entity was sold to private interests and is later brought back under state management.
The term appears most often in discussions of utilities, transportation, and other public services.
The new government renationalizes the railway system after years of private mismanagement.
