1. Fanatic: The word "fanatic" comes from the Latin "fanaticus", which means "inspired by a deity or frenzied". In Latin, "fanum" referred to a temple or sacred place. "Fanaticus" originally denoted someone who was possessed or inspired by a deity and acted in a frenzied or zealous manner.
2. -ize: The suffix "-ize" comes from the Greek "-izein", which means "to make" or "to cause to be". It is used to form verbs that indicate the act of making something into a certain state or action. In the case of "fanaticizes", it means "to make or cause someone to be a fanatic".
