Morphology

symphonize = symphony (transparent) = symphony + ize

The verb is a straightforward formation from the noun 'symphony' with the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize', so learners can infer 'to perform or make like a symphony'.

Etymology

Symphonize comes from Greek parts syn- meaning 'together' and phone meaning 'sound', the same roots you see in symphony and telephone. So to symphonize is to make sounds 'together' — to play or sing in harmony.
