Root Explanation

Aerobicize → It is formed from "aero-" (from Greek "aer", meaning air) and "-bic" (from Latin "bius", meaning life) combined with the suffix "-ize" (meaning to make or to become). The word refers to the act of making something aerobic, or suitable for exercise that improves the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.

Memory Tip

Think of 'air' ('aero-') and 'life' ('-bic') coming together to remember that 'aerobicize' means to make something suitable for air-based exercise.
