To make Greek in character, style, or language; to adopt or incorporate Greek elements.
From 'Greek' plus the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' (from Greek '-izein'), creating a standard formation meaning to make or become Greek.
'Grecize' is actually a synonym for 'Hellenize'—both mean the same thing, but 'Grecize' uses Latin roots (Graceus) while 'Hellenize' uses Greek roots (Hellas). Linguists argue about which is 'more correct,' but both have been used for centuries!
