Root Explanation

Globalize → It is formed from "global" (from Latin *globus*, meaning sphere or round object) and "-ize" (a suffix used to form verbs meaning to make or to become). The word "globalize" means to make something worldwide or to spread it across the globe.

Think of making something into a 'sphere' or worldwide ('global') — that's why globalize means to spread something across the world.
