schematize
UK: ˈskiːmətaɪz | US: ˈskiːmətaɪz
vt. to arrange or represent something in a schematic or simplified form
vt. to reduce complex information to a systematic plan or diagram
The word "schematize" originates from the Greek "skhēma," meaning "form" or "plan," combined with the English verb-forming suffix "-ize." The Greek root "skhēma" was adopted into Late Latin as "schema," retaining its meaning of a structured representation. The suffix "-ize" (from Greek "-izein") was later added to create a verb meaning "to reduce to a systematic form." This reflects the logical progression from a static plan ("schema") to the action of organizing ("schematize").
