Etymology of POLARIZING
The word "polarizing" is derived from the noun "polarize", which in turn comes from the adjective "polar" and the suffix "-ize". The adjective "polar" originally comes from the late 16th century term "polaris", which means "of or relating to the poles". It is ultimately derived from the Latin word "polus", meaning "end of an axis" or "the sky's pivot". The suffix "-ize" is derived from the Greek suffix "-izo", which indicates the creation or transformation of something into a particular state or condition. Therefore, the word "polarizing" is a continuation of the idea of something becoming polar or having polar characteristics. In modern usage, "polarizing" is typically used to describe something that causes division or separation of people into distinct opposing groups or opinions.
