Morphology

strategize = strategy (transparent) = strategy + ize

Formed by adding the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' to the noun 'strategy', so the meaning 'to make or apply a strategy' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Strategize comes from an old Greek word strategos meaning 'army leader' and shares the same root as strategy. So, to strategize is to 'plan like a general' and make careful plans to reach a goal.
