'alkalinize' originates from the word 'alkaline,' which comes from the Arabic word 'al-qaly,' meaning 'ashes of the saltwort.'

'alkaline' transformed from the Arabic word 'al-qaly' and eventually became the modern English word 'alkaline.'

Initially, it meant 'related to ashes of saltwort,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having the properties of an alkali.'
