'itemize' originates from the word 'item,' which comes from Latin 'item,' meaning 'also' or 'likewise.'

'item' evolved from the Latin word 'item' and eventually became the modern English word 'itemize' through the addition of the suffix '-ize.'

Initially, 'item' meant 'also' or 'likewise,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a distinct part or piece.'
