Etymology of SPERMATIZED

The word "spermatized" is derived from the combination of two terms: "sperm" and the suffix "-ized".

1. Sperm: This term stems from the Late Latin word "sperma", meaning "seed". It was further influenced by the Greek word "sperma" with the same meaning. In biology, "sperm" refers to the male reproductive cells involved in fertilization.

2. -ize: The suffix "-ize" comes from Greek through the Latin "-izare", which serves as a verbal ending indicating the act or process of making or becoming. It is commonly used in English to turn nouns and adjectives into verbs, implying the creation or transformation of something.

By adding the suffix "-ize" to "sperm", the word "spermatize" is formed.
