"Vocalization" comes from the Latin word "vocalis," meaning "voice" or "vocal." It was originally used in the 16th century to describe the act of producing sounds with the voice. Over time, the word evolved to encompass both the sounds themselves and the process of expressing thoughts or feelings through speech. The "-ization" suffix signifies the act of making something into something else, hence the meaning of "vocalization" as the process of transforming thoughts into spoken words.
