[edit] Usage notes
- The suffix ‐ize has historically been used on words originating from Greek, while ‐ise for words that end in -vise, -tise, -cise, and -prise, among others, that come from different roots (chiefly French). During the 19th century, ‐ise became a popular rendering of ‐ize in the United Kingdom under French influence. Today, hypercorrection has made ‐ize the American spelling and ‐ise the British spelling: respectively for many words from either root.
