Root Explanation

Poetize → It is formed from "poet" (from Greek "poietes", meaning maker or creator) and "-ize" (a suffix used to form verbs meaning to make or to become). The word "poetize" means to make or create in the manner of a poet, often referring to the act of writing poetry or expressing oneself poetically.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'poet' as someone who 'makes' ('poietes') words into art, and when you 'poetize', you are making something poetic.
