To make something dynamic or energetic; to activate or invigorate; in homeopathy, to subject to dynamization.
From Greek dynamis (power) + -ize (verb suffix). The general meaning emerged in the 1800s from the Greek root, while the homeopathic usage developed specifically from Hahnemann's system.
The verb 'dynamize' connects to 'dynamic,' 'dynamite,' and 'dynasty'—all from the same Greek root meaning power, showing how one ancient concept fractured into modern words with wildly different meanings.
