Etymology: "Velocitize" is a plain formation: the noun "velocity" with the verb-forming suffix "-ize" attached, meaning to make something move faster or to give it velocity. "Velocity" itself comes from Latin "velocitas," meaning swiftness, from "velox," meaning swift. The suffix "-ize" comes through Greek "-izein," and English has used it since the Middle Ages to turn nouns and adjectives into verbs, as in "modernize" or "familiarize."
