verb suffix Etymology: Middle French -iser, from Late Latin -izare, from Greek ~in 1. a. (1) cause to be or conform to or resemble systemize Americanize ; cause to be formed into unionize (2) subject to a (specified) action plagiarize (3) impregnate or treat or combine with aluminize b. treat like idolize c. treat according to the method of bowdlerize 2. a. become ; become like crystallize b. be productive in or of hypothesize ; engage in a (specified) activity philosophize c. adopt or spread the manner of activity or the teaching of Platonize Usage: The suffix ~ has been productive in English since the time of Thomas Nashe (1567-1601), who claimed credit for introducing it into English to remedy the surplus of monosyllabic words. Almost any noun or adjective can be made into a verb by adding ~ hospitalize familiarize; many technical terms are coined this way oxidize as well as verbs of ethnic derivation Americanize and verbs derived from proper names bowdlerize mesmerize. Nashe noted in 1591 that his ~ coinages were being criticized, and to this day new words ending in ~ finalize prioritize are sure to draw critical fire.

suffix (also -ise) forming verbs, meaning: 1 make or become such (Americanize; pulverize; realize). 2 treat in such a way (monopolize; pasteurize). 3 a follow a special practice (economize). b have a specified feeling (sympathize). 4 affect with, provide with, or subject to (oxidize; hospitalize). Usage The form -ize has been in use in English since the 16th c.; it is widely used in American English, but is not an Americanism. The alternative spelling -ise (reflecting a French influence) is in common use, esp. in British English, and is obligatory in certain cases: (a) where it forms part of a larger word-element, such as -mise (= sending) in compromise, and -prise (= taking) in surprise; and (b) in verbs corresponding to nouns with -i- in the stem, such as advertise and televise.
