Etymology of ANTISEPTIZES

The word "antiseptizes" does not have an established etymology as it seems to be a non-standard or uncommon form. However, it appears to be derived from the noun "antiseptic" and its verb counterpart "antiseptize". The noun "antiseptic" originates from the Greek words "anti" meaning "against" and "septikos" meaning "putrefying" or "causing decay". It was first used in English in the mid-19th century to refer to substances that prevent or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. The verb form "antiseptize" would then be created by adding "-ize" to the noun, which is a common way to create a verb from a noun in English, implying the action of applying or making something antiseptic.
