Missionize → It is formed from "mission" (from Latin *missio*, meaning sending) and "-ize" (a suffix used to form verbs indicating to make or to become). The word "missionize" means to make or become a mission, often in the context of spreading beliefs or practices.
Think of 'mission' as a 'sending' of ideas or beliefs, and '-ize' means to make it happen. So, when you think of missionize, imagine making something into a mission.
