Etymology
The word is a modern Greek formation built on τόπος, place. The prefix εν- means in, and the verb εντοπίζω means to place in a spot, hence to locate or pinpoint. The suffix -ισμός turns the verb into a noun naming the action or process, so εντοπισμός is literally the act of fixing something to its place.
