Morphology
optimize = optimal (transparent) = optim + ize
Formed by the productive suffix '-ize' from the base meaning 'optimal/optimum' (best), so 'make optimal' is directly predictable.
Etymology
Optimize comes from the Latin root optimus, which means 'best', and you can see the same root in optimal and optimum. So to optimize something is to make it the 'best' it can be, to help it work as well as possible.
