Root Explanation

Vowelize → It is formed from "vowel" (from Latin "vocalis", meaning vocal or relating to the voice) and "-ize" (a suffix used to form verbs meaning to make or to become). The word "vowelize" means to make something into a vowel sound or to express it with vowels.

Memory Tip

Think of 'vowel' as relating to sounds made by the voice, and '-ize' means to make. So, to vowelize is to make something vocal or to express it with vowel sounds.
