To compose, translate, or convert text into hexameter verse, or to arrange words according to hexametrical meter.
From 'hexameter' + '-ize' (to make or convert), a verb-forming suffix. The term emerged in literary scholarship to describe the technical craft of converting prose or other verse forms into hexameter.
Renaissance poets loved to hexametrize famous works—translating Homer or epic poems into their native languages while maintaining the six-foot meter was seen as the highest mark of poetic skill, like solving a complex puzzle while keeping the story intact.
