'revolutionize' originates from the word 'revolution,' which comes from the Latin word 'revolutio,' meaning 'a turn around.'

'revolutio' transformed into the French word 'révolution,' and eventually became the modern English word 'revolution' and its derivative 'revolutionize.'

Initially, it meant 'to turn around or rotate,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to bring about a radical change.'
