覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
hospital を知っていれば核はすぐ見える語。長いですが hospital + -ize + -ation と区切ると、まず「病院」があり、「〜にする」「そのこと」が重なって『病院に入ること＝入院』と整理できます。ニュースや医療文脈では require hospitalization, avoid hospitalization が定番。admission は『入院手続き・受け入れ』寄りで、hospitalization は入院という出来事や状態そのもの、という違いで覚えると混同しにくいです。
Break it into `hospital + -ization`. That makes it easier to remember as the process or state of being in a hospital. Common phrases like `require hospitalization` and `avoid hospitalization` help fix it in memory.

hospitalization の語源・成り立ち Etymology
hospitalization は hospital に -ize と -ation が重なった語です。hospital はラテン語 hospitale「客人のための宿」に由来し、さらに hospes「客・主人」にさかのぼります。『客を迎える場所』が病人を受け入れる施設となり、『入院』の語へつながりました。関連語は hospitality, hospice です。
"Hospitalization" was formed from "hospital" with the endings "-ize" and "-ation." "Hospital" comes from Latin "hospitale," meaning a place for guests, from "hospes," meaning guest or host. The idea shifted from welcoming guests to caring for the sick, and from there the word developed into the sense of being admitted to a hospital. Related English words include "hospitality" and "hospice."
