The word "personalized" originates from the Latin "persona" (mask, character), evolving into "person" (an individual) in English. The suffix "-al" transforms it into an adjective ("personal"), while "-ize" converts it into a verb ("personalize"). Finally, "-ed" indicates the past participle or adjective form. The term reflects the concept of adapting something to a specific individual, mirroring societal shifts toward customization in services and products.
