EN: to nationalize
This is the government version of "it's complicated" turning into "it's ours now." Think of a private company, like a telco or an electric company, being taken over by the government. It's a major political and economic move, like when your parents decide your personal savings are now part of the "family fund."
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `sa` (to make) + `bansa` (nation/country).
ROOT MEANING: country, nation
Used in formal contexts, particularly in economics, politics, and history.
