Incorrect spelling, explanation: you can’t spell compromise as compromize because compromise is not a real word in English. The word compromise follows a specific linguistic pattern and does not belong to the category of verbs that end in -ize, such as realize or organize. The -mise in compromise comes from the Latin compromissum, meaning a mutual agreement, and this suffix does not change to -mize in English.

Correct spelling, explanation: the word compromise comes from Latin and Old French, and compromize has never existed in English. The word traces back to Latin compromissum, which means a mutual agreement or a promise made together. It comes from com- (together) and promittere (to promise). Unlike words that come from Greek, which often end in -ize (e.g., organize, realize, theorize), compromise does not have Greek roots. The suffix -mise comes from French and Latin.
