'poetize' originates from Medieval Latin, specifically the word 'poetizare,' where 'poeta' meant 'poet' and the suffix '-izare' meant 'to make or do.'

'poetizare' transformed into the French word 'poétiser,' and eventually became the modern English word 'poetize' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to make into poetry or to write as a poet,' and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to write or speak in a poetic manner.'
