Root Explanation

Physicalize → It is formed from "physical" (from Greek "physikos", meaning natural or relating to nature) and "-ize" (a suffix used to form verbs meaning to make or to become). The word "physicalize" means to make something physical or to give it a physical form.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'natural' or 'real' ('physical') and then 'turning it into' ('-ize') a tangible form.
