Morphology

factorize = factor (transparent) = factor + ize

Formed by adding the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' to 'factor'; the meaning 'to make into factors' is directly derivable and applies to polynomials and matrices alike.

Etymology

Factorize comes from factor and -ize, where factor means 'a part that makes up something'. So to factorize a matrix is to 'turn it into' simpler matrices — that is, to write it as a product of parts to make calculations easier.
