Etymology
Etymology Information

'Aramaicized' originates from English, specifically derived from the verb 'Aramaicize', formed by combining 'Aramaic' and the suffix '-ize' (meaning 'to make or become').

Historical Evolution

'Aramaic' itself comes via Latin and Greek ('Aramaicus' / 'Aramaikos') ultimately from the Northwest Semitic name 'Aram' (related to the Aramaic native terms). The productive English suffix '-ize' comes from Greek '-izein' via Latin and Old French; combining these produced 'Aramaicize', and then the regular past/past-participle 'Aramaicized'.

Meaning Changes

Initially 'Aramaic' meant 'relating to the Arameans or their language'; the verb formation gave the action sense 'to make or render into Aramaic', which is the modern meaning of 'Aramaicize/Aramaicized'.
