Morphology

alkalize = alkaline (transparent) = alkali + ize

Formed by a clear adjective base 'alkaline' (meaning basic) plus the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' meaning 'make or become', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Alkalize comes from alkali, which comes from an old Arabic word for 'plant ashes' that people used to make soda for cleaning and soap. You can see the same root in alkaline, so to alkalize something is to make it less acidic or more 'alkaline'.
