Definition
To treat something with alkali or make it more alkaline (American spelling).
Etymology
From alkali (Arabic al-qali, meaning plant ashes) + -ize suffix (American verb-forming suffix from Greek -izein). This word entered English through Arabic during medieval scientific translation periods.
Kelly Says
Arabic gave English not just 'alkali' but dozens of chemistry words—'alcohol,' 'algebra,' 'algorithm.' Medieval scholars translated Arab scientists and their vocabulary stuck around, making your chemistry textbook partially written in Arabic!
