'ecologize' originates from the Greek word 'oikos,' meaning 'house' or 'environment,' combined with the suffix '-ize,' indicating a process or transformation.

'Ecologize' evolved from the concept of 'ecology,' which was first coined in the late 19th century, and eventually became a verb form to describe the act of making something ecological.

Initially, it meant 'to study the environment,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to make something environmentally friendly.'
