Morphology

sorcerize = sorcerer (transparent) = sorcerer + ize

The verb is a straightforward verb-forming derivation from the noun 'sorcerer' with the productive suffix '-ize', yielding 'to subject to sorcery' or 'to use sorcery on'.

Etymology

Sorcerize comes from the word sorcerer and the ending -ize, where -ize means 'make' or 'do'. So, to sorcerize is to 'make' or 'turn' something 'by magic', which is why it means to change something using sorcery.
