revolutionization
Complete systemic transformation
Revolutionization is the process of bringing about radical change or transformation.
The word appears in formal or academic contexts where revolution alone might seem imprecise: the revolutionization of agricultural practices, the revolutionization of communication through the internet.
It emphasizes the ongoing or completed action of making something revolutionary rather than the revolution itself.
