usage The suffix -ize 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 -ize 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 in -ize were being complained about, and to this day new words in -ize finalize prioritize are sure to draw critical fire.
