Etymology: "Verbalized" is the past tense and past participle of "verbalize," and the verb itself is a blend of two routes into English. Its first part came from Middle French "verbaliser," which drew on the Latin "verbum," meaning "word." The second part is the familiar English suffix "-ize," which turns a noun or adjective into a verb meaning "to make or do something." Starting from the adjective "verbal," meaning "of or relating to words," the verb took on the sense of turning something into words. Its core idea is putting an unspoken thought, feeling, or pattern into speech or writing so others can grasp it. Because "verbal" can also mean "spoken" as opposed to "written," the verb is sometimes heard as a loose synonym for speaking aloud, though its emphasis is on the act of rendering ideas into language.
