Routinized → It is formed from "routine" (from French *routine*, meaning a regular course of procedure) and "-ize" (meaning to make or to become). The word "routinized" means to make something into a regular procedure or to establish a routine.

Memory Tip

Think of establishing a 'regular course' ('routine') and then 'making' it ('-ize') into a habit. This helps you remember that 'routinized' means to make something a regular practice.
