(automatize)
make automatic
Etymology
'automatize' originates from Greek via modern English formation: from Greek 'automatos' meaning 'self-moving' (auto- 'self' + -matos), combined with the English verb-forming suffix '-ize'.
'automatos' (Greek) → Latin/Old French forms (automaton/automate) → English adjective 'automatic' → verb formed in English as 'automatize' (19th century) meaning 'make automatic'.
Initially the root referred to 'self-moving' or 'acting of itself'; over time the English verb 'automatize' came to mean 'to make (a process or skill) automatic' or 'to convert to automatic operation'.
