Etymology of RUSSIANIZE

The word "Russianize" is derived from the noun "Russian" combined with the suffix "-ize".

"Russian" traces its origins back to the Old East Slavic word "Rusĭ", which referred to the people of Rus, a medieval state that would later become present-day Russia. Over time, this term expanded to encompass the language, culture, and people of Russia.

The suffix "-ize" comes from the Ancient Greek "-izein" which means "to make, to cause to become, to become like". It was later borrowed into Latin and then into English, where it is used to form verbs that denote the act of making something similar to or conforming to the noun it is attached to.

Combining "Russian" with "-ize" results in the word "Russianize", which means to cause or make something or someone similar to or adopt the characteristics of Russian culture, language, or style.
