Etymology of VERNACULARIZE

The word "vernacularize" is derived from the combination of two words: "vernacular" and "-ize".

"Vernacular" is originally derived from the Latin word "vernaculus", meaning "domestic" or "native". It was first used in English to refer to the language or dialect spoken by the common people in a particular region or country. Over time, it developed to refer to the native or indigenous language of a specific group or area.

The suffix "-ize" is used to form verbs, indicating the act of making or becoming something. It is derived from the Greek suffix "-izein" which means "to make" or "to cause".
