(anatomize)
detailed dissection or analysis
Etymology
'anatomization' originates from Medieval Latin, specifically the word 'anatomizare,' where 'anatomia' meant 'dissection' and the suffix '-izare' meant 'to make or do.'
'anatomizare' transformed into the English word 'anatomize,' and the noun form 'anatomization' was created by adding the suffix '-ation.'
Initially, it meant 'the act of dissecting a body,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'detailed analysis or examination.'
