The brilliant thing about "burglarize" is how they then backfilled the
language to justify it.


You're not burgled, you're "burglarized".
You don't catch a burglar, you catch a "burglarizer".
You're not locked up for burglary, but "burglarization".


Rather similar to someone I heard on the radio a few years ago saying that
he "compostionized" music.
