Civilization or Cizilation?

Had a student type "civilization" as "cizilation." A typo, a Freudian slip, a Jungian universal, collective truth surfacing? Where did "civil" go? Sizzle as in burn, as in erotic? Hell and/or heaven?

Perhaps Miekal And, or Geoff Huth, or Bob Grumman, and/or others? can help her/us define the new word of our world she consciously or unconsciously whelped.

I sense we're already living there.

cizilation = civilization of solipsists m.

[Gregory St. Thomasino]

"Cizilation" makes me think of neon, what ionizes and glows when an electric current is sent through it. "Cizilation" is commercial civilization, or the sort of civilization one encounters at Times Square. "Cizilation" is "civilization in a pressure cooker." Then again, and keeping with the cooking angle, "cizilation" is the action (onomatopoeic, or -poetic, just in case Mr. Huth is reading) of cooking an egg on the sun-baked hood of an SUV. And again keeping with the cooking angle, "cizilation" is something you do with a feather, or with a finger tip, or with a soft said of breath.
