Etymology: "Originalizes" is the third-person singular present form of "originalize," which means to make something original or new. The "-s" simply matches the verb to "he," "she," or "it." The verb is built from "original" and the suffix "-ize." "Original" comes from Latin "originalis," from "origo," meaning beginning or source, which itself comes from "oriri," to rise. So the deepest idea is something rising up from a source. The suffix comes through Latin "-izare" from Greek "-izein," a verb-forming ending meaning to make or to cause to become something. "Originalize" is a rare formation, and I'm not certain when it first appeared in English.
