To make or pronounce a sound in the throat; to convert a sound into a guttural sound.
From Latin 'guttur' (throat) + '-alize' (verb suffix). The verb form allows describing the action of producing guttural sounds.
Languages gutturalize sounds over centuries—what once was a soft sound gradually moves deeper into the throat as speakers relax their articulation, showing how all languages slowly shift like this.
