To coat, cover, or plate something with copper; to give something a copper color or copper-like qualities.
Formed from copper plus the -ize suffix, which creates verbs meaning "to cause to become" or "to treat with" the base word; common in technical and scientific vocabulary.
The -ize suffix is so powerful that scientists can copperize almost any material—in modern nanotechnology, researchers copperize surfaces at microscopic scales to create new electrical and antimicrobial properties!
