Surface Forms
Morphology
quantize = quantum (semi-transparent) = quant + ize
Formed by adding '-ize' to the 'quant-' stem; the relation to 'quantum' is clear morphologically but the precise physics meaning is technical.
Etymology
Quantize comes from quantum 'how much' and the everyday word quantity, and in science it means to make values into small, separate 'amounts' or packets. So to quantize energy or fields is to limit them to those fixed amounts.
