To make something into a dragon, or to give something dragon-like qualities; to transform into or represent as a dragon.
From 'dragon' + '-ize' (Greek suffix meaning to make or become). This productive suffix creates verbs meaning to transform or cause to become.
The '-ize' suffix comes from Greek and is one of English's most productive tools—it lets us turn nouns and adjectives into action words, which is why every generation invents new '-ize' verbs like 'weaponize' and 'optimize.'
