'anglicize' originates from Medieval Latin, specifically the word 'anglicizare,' where 'Anglicus' meant 'English' and '-izare' meant 'to make.'

'anglicize' changed from the Medieval Latin word 'anglicizare' and eventually became the modern English word 'anglicize.'

Initially, it meant 'to make English,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to make something English in form, character, or language.'
