computerise = compute<calculate> + er<agent suffix> + ise<verb suffix>
- compute: From Latin computare ("to calculate"), combining com- (intensive) + putare ("to reckon").
- -er: Agentive suffix in English, indicating "one who performs an action."
- -ise: British variant of -ize, a verb-forming suffix from Greek -izein, meaning "to render or make."
Etymology Origin:
The word computerise emerged in the mid-20th century, blending computer (itself derived from compute) with the suffix -ise. The term reflects the technological shift toward automating tasks via computers. The morphemes logically progress from "calculate" → "machine that calculates" → "to adapt for such machines."
