Etymology

The word 'politicise' comes from the combination of 'politic', derived from the Latin 'politicus', which pertains to citizens and the art of governance, and the suffix '-ise' which is used in British English to form verbs. The term has evolved to take on a meaning closely related to engaging in or considering matters within a political framework. The usage of 'politicise' has become prominent in modern discourse as discussions surrounding various societal issues increasingly intersect with political ideologies. Its roots reflect the longstanding human inclination to associate governance and public policy with everyday life, evidenced by the increasing tendency to view various aspects of culture, identity, and society through a political lens. As such, the act to 'politicise' is crucial in shaping public perception and legislative outcomes.
