词源

From lusitanize + -ation, from Lusitanian + ize, ultimately from Latin Lusitania (“pre-Roman and Roman Portugal”), used archaistically in New Latin and English in reference to modern Portugal. Partially on the model of more common terms such as gallicization and partially as a calque of Portuguese lusitanización, from lusitanizar + -ación, from lusitano (“Lusitanian, Portuguese”) + -izar.
