'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 in form or character,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
