    Default Root

    Please what is the root of the word 'industrialization'? Is it correct to say 'dust'? E.g. 'Faithful' - faith.
    Thanks!

    No. 'Industrial' has nothing at all to to with 'dust'. It is formed from 'industry'; 'in' and 'y' are not affixes.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
