DOCUMENTARIZE Meaning and Definition

  1. Documentarize is a verb that refers to the act of transforming or adapting something into a documentary format. It is derived from the noun "documentary," which is a non-fictional film or television program that aims to present factual information, educate, or provide an in-depth examination of a particular subject.

    To documentarize means to create or produce a documentary film or television program based on real events, characters, or situations. It involves conducting research, gathering factual information, filming or recording interviews, and compiling evidence to support the intended documentary's central theme or message.

    The process of documentarizing typically includes the selection and arrangement of audiovisual materials, as well as the use of narrative techniques to present a coherent and engaging story. By documentarizing a subject, one can shed light on significant historical events, social issues, scientific advancements, cultural phenomena, or personal experiences, providing an informative and educational perspective to the audience.

    In contemporary media, the term documentarize can also be used more broadly, beyond the context of filmmaking, to refer to the act of transforming any form of content, such as books, articles, or photographs, into a documentary style. This adaptation process may involve techniques like portraying real-life characters, incorporating interviews, and presenting information in a visually appealing and engaging manner similar to that of a documentary film.

Etymology of DOCUMENTARIZE

The word "documentarize" is not commonly found in dictionaries or widely used in English language. It appears to be derived from the noun "documentary" which originated from the English noun "document" and the suffix "-ary". "Document" is a Middle English word derived from Old French "document" meaning "instruction, lesson" or directly from Latin "documentum" meaning "example, proof, lesson" derived from "docere" meaning "to teach". The suffix "-ary" is derived from the Latin suffix "-arius" which indicates "pertaining to" or "connected with". Therefore, the etymology of "documentary" does not directly suggest the existence or origin of the word "documentarize".
