Systematize → It is formed from "system" (from Greek "sustema", meaning a whole made of parts) and "-ize" (meaning to make or to cause to be). The word "systematize" means to arrange or organize something into a system or structured whole.
Think of creating a 'whole' from 'parts' — 'system' refers to a collection of parts, and '-ize' means to make. This helps you remember that to systematize is to make something into a structured system.
