Filmize

/ˈfɪlmaɪz/ verb

Definition

To adapt or convert something (like a book or play) into a film or screenplay.

Etymology

Created by adding the -ize suffix (from Greek '-izein') to 'film,' creating a verb meaning 'to make into film or film format.'

Kelly Says

The -ize suffix is how English creates action verbs—'filmize' means to make something into a film, just like 'computerize' means to make something work with computers.
