Converted something into a formula or standardized pattern.
From formula (Latin, 'small form') + -ize (make or become) + -ed (past tense). The word evolved in the 19th century to describe the process of reducing something complex into a simplified, reproducible formula.
Scientists and engineers love this word because it's how they turn messy real-world problems into clean equations—like how a baker might formulize their famous recipe so anyone can replicate it perfectly every time.
