Pro Tip

Distinguish from 定着する

定着させる is the causative form (someone makes it happen), while 定着する is the intransitive verb (it happens on its own). E.g., 知識を定着させる (make knowledge stick) vs 知識が定着する (knowledge sticks).

Word Origin

From 定着 (ていちゃく, teichaku, 'settlement/establishment') + させる (causative suffix). 定着 itself is a noun-verb compound from 定 (てい, tei, 'fixed') + 着 (ちゃく, chaku, 'arrival/contact').

Usage Notes

Used when emphasizing the process of making something permanent or deeply rooted. Often appears in contexts like education (learning), social norms, organizational culture, or technical skills. The causative form (-させる) indicates that someone is causing the establishment to happen.
