Etymology
The word sensitized comes from sense, the same root as sensitive, which means 'feeling', plus the ending -ize which means 'to make'. So sensitized describes someone or something that has been made more likely to feel or react, which is why it is used for people who develop an allergy and react strongly to a substance.
