Morphology

lyricize = lyric (transparent) = lyric + ize

Formed by the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' added to the familiar base 'lyric', so learners who know 'lyric' and '-ize' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Lyricize comes from lyric, a word tied to the lyre, a small harp used to sing songs, and the ending -ize which means 'to make' or 'to do'. So to lyricize is to write words as lyrics for a song or to make language sound like a song.
