To combine with bromine or subject to bromination; an alternative form of brominate.
From bromine + -ize (verb suffix). The -ize ending is interchangeable with -ate in chemistry for many processes, though -ate is now more standard.
Brominize and brominate mean the same thing, but -ize endings are more common in American English while -ate is more British—this word pair shows the transatlantic divide in chemical terminology!
