internationalize

the word 'internationalize' is a modern english formation built upon the established adjective 'international'. its core, 'nation', originates from latin 'natio', denoting a people or tribe united by birth. the prefix 'inter-', from latin, was attached to create 'international', meaning "between nations". the verb-forming suffix '-ize', with its ancient greek lineage in '-izein', was then appended, a productive process in english for creating verbs meaning "to make or render something have the qualities of". thus, the literal morpheme sequence "between + nation + to make" logically constructs the modern meaning of making something operate across or involve multiple nations.
