commoditize (third-person singular simple present commoditizes, present participle commoditizing, simple past and past participle commoditized)
The earlier commodify is more common, sometimes used synonymously, and sometimes considered more correct, with commoditize proscribed. In other use these are distinguished, with commoditize used in business contexts to describe a market that becomes a commodity market where products are interchangeable and there is heavy price competition, while commodify is used in social contexts to mean that a non-commercial good has become commercial, typically with connotations of “corrupted by commerce” – “Microprocessors are commoditized. Love is commodified.”
