'analyse' originates from French, specifically the word 'analyse', which came from Medieval Latin 'analysis', from Ancient Greek 'analusis', where 'ana-' meant 'up' and 'lysis' meant 'a loosening'.

'analyse' changed from the French word 'analyse' and eventually became the modern English word 'analyse' (British spelling) or 'analyze' (American spelling).

Initially, it meant 'a breaking up or loosening', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to examine in detail or break down into parts for study'.
