Etymology: "Systemising" is the present participle and gerund of "systemise", a verb formed from "system" with the suffix "-ise", which turns a noun into a verb meaning to make something into a system or to arrange it systematically. "System" itself came into English from Late Latin "systema", which was borrowed from Greek "sustēma", meaning a whole put together from parts, a combination. The Greek word is built from "sun", meaning "together", and "histanai", meaning "to set up" or "to place", so at its root a system is something set up together. The "-ise" ending is the familiar English verb suffix that appears in words such as "organise" and "realise", and adding it to a noun is a routine way of making a new verb. The result is a transparent word: to systemise is to take a scattered collection and set it into an ordered whole.
