'abolitionize' originates from the English word 'abolition,' specifically the word 'abolish,' where 'ab-' meant 'away' and 'ole' meant 'to grow.'

'abolish' transformed into the English word 'abolition,' and eventually became the modern English word 'abolitionize.'

Initially, it meant 'to abolish or end something,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to convert to abolitionist principles.'
