Etymology of IDIOTIZE

The word "idiotize" is a derivative of the noun "idiot" and the verb-forming suffix "-ize". "Idiot" comes from the Greek word "idiotes", which initially referred to a private citizen who had no specific role in public life. Over time, the meaning of "idiot" evolved to describe someone lacking intelligence or common sense. The suffix "-ize" is derived from the Greek "-izein", which denotes the act of making, causing, or transforming. Thus, "idiotize" in English means to turn someone into an idiot or to make them behave unintelligently.
