Coalize

/ˈkoʊəlaɪz/ verb

Definition

To form or unite into a coalition; to join together with others for a common goal.

Etymology

From coalition + -ize (verb suffix meaning 'to make or cause to be'). The -ize suffix transforms nouns into action verbs. This word is less common than its counterparts, emerging in political writing.

Kelly Says

When political parties 'coalize,' they're making a calculated gamble that together they're stronger than apart—but this cooperation often falls apart once they achieve their immediate goal!
