To make something geometric in shape or appearance, or to apply geometric principles and patterns to something.
From geometry (Greek geometria: geo- 'earth' + metria 'measurement') plus the -ize suffix meaning 'to cause to be' or 'to treat as.' The term emerged in the 19th century as geometry became more central to art, design, and science.
Modernist artists like the Cubists deliberately chose to 'geometrize' human faces and natural forms, breaking them into abstract shapes—this artistic choice was revolutionary because it showed that mathematical order could reveal deeper truths about reality rather than just describing surfaces.
