The English translation of the French verb métaboliser is “to metabolize.” It is pronounced “mey-tah-boh-lee-zey.”
The word métaboliser comes from the Latin word “metabolismus” and the Greek word “metabolē,” meaning change or transformation. It entered the French language in the 19th century and is derived from the noun “métabolisme,” which refers to the chemical processes that occur within living organisms to maintain life.
