Etymology: "Marketises" is the third-person singular form of "marketise", a verb built from the noun "market" and the suffix "-ise", which turns a noun into a verb meaning to make something conform to market principles or to treat it as a commodity. The suffix has a long ancestry: it comes from ancient Greek "-izein", a verb-forming ending, which passed through Late Latin "-izare" and Middle French "-iser" before reaching Middle English as "-isen". English then used the ending productively, attaching it to words like "modernise" and "publicise", so "market" plus "-ise" follows a well-worn pattern. The third-person "-es" ending simply shows that the subject is singular, as in "she marketises" or "the government marketises".
