To convert something into a form that can be crawled or traversed slowly, or to make something behave like a crawler.
From 'crawler' (something that crawls) + '-ize' (to make or become). The suffix '-ize' comes from Greek '-izein'. This is a modern technical term that emerged in computing and engineering contexts.
This word perfectly captures how English speakers take any noun and turn it into an action with '-ize'—think 'weaponize,' 'digitize,' 'prioritize.' Tech companies have been crawlerizing the internet for years through web scrapers!
