familiarize
UK: fəˈmɪliəraɪz | US: fəˈmɪliəraɪz
vt. to make someone knowledgeable or accustomed to something
vt. to adapt or make something well-known or easily recognized
The word "familiarize" combines "familiar," derived from Latin familiaris (pertaining to a household or intimate circle), with the verb-forming suffix "-ize" (from Greek -izein). "Familiar" originally referred to close relationships or domestic settings, later broadening to mean "well-known." The suffix "-ize" transforms it into an action, meaning "to make familiar." This reflects the logical progression from a state of intimacy to the act of introducing or adapting someone/something to that state.
