Etymology: The word "rhythm" came into English from Latin "rhythmus", which was borrowed from Greek "rhythmos", meaning a measured flow or regular pattern of motion. Its ancient roots lie in a verb meaning "to flow", so the core idea was always movement that repeats in an orderly way. English "rhythmize" was built on that noun, with the Greek-derived suffix "-ize" (through Late Latin "-izare" and Old French "-iser") attached to mean "to give rhythm to" or "to bring into rhythmic form". "Rhythmization" is the noun formed from "rhythmize" by adding "-ation", the suffix that turns verbs into nouns of process, so it names the act of arranging something into a regular pattern. The suffix itself arrived in English by way of Old French from Latin "-ātiō", giving the whole word a layered ancestry: Greek for the rhythm, Latin and French for the suffixes, and English for the final assembly.
