- 1把（權力或管理）集中起來；中央集權化
To centralize is to organise control so that things are done or decided in one place. A government centralizes when the capital starts deciding what towns used to decide. A company centralizes when one office, not each branch, sets the rules. It is a verb: it is something people do on purpose. You meet it in news, school writing, and office talk, not in chat about dinner. Though actually, you can also centralize things that are not political power — records, money, hiring, even a team’s files on one computer. The picture is the same: many places stop doing it; one place does. The opposite verb is , to send the deciding back out.
組成From central + -ize (the English verb-ending that came, through French, from a Greek ending). -ize means “make it [central].”
