Arabize is born in 1883
1 a : to cause to acquire Arabic customs, manners, speech, or outlook b : to
modify (a population) by intermarriage with Arabs
2 : ARABICIZE 1
- - Ar*ab*i*za*tion /"ar-&-b&-'zA-sh&n/ noun
Arabicize is born in 1872
1 : to adapt (a language or elements of a language) to the phonetic or
structural pattern of Arabic
2 : ARABIZE 1
- - arab*i*ci*za*tion /&-"ra-b&-s&-'zA-sh&n/ noun
Conclusion: No difference except Arabicize is older by 11 years according to
Merriam-Webster's. Is m-w right? ;)
