British spelling: to commit burglary against a building; to break in illegally and steal.
From burglar + -ise (British verb-forming suffix). The -ise ending is standard in British English, while American English prefers -ize.
English uses different suffixes on opposite sides of the Atlantic—burglarise vs. burglarize—a reminder that British and American English are still evolving separately.
