Symbolize

The first pair consists of a noun and a verb. In this pair, the verb 'empower'

is formed by adding a pre fix to the noun 'power'. The process of adding a prefix or suffix is called 'derivation' in linguistics. In the same way, in the next pair we are supposed to form a verb from the noun, 'symbol'. So we will repeat the process of derivation and add the suffix 'ize' at the end of symbol to form a verb. The answer will be symbolize. Symbolize means to represent or explain an idea with the help of a symbol or icon.
