Generally it is attached to an adjective ("finalize", "sterilize") and it turns the adjective into a verb meaning "to make something (adjective)". Thus "finalize" means to "make something final" and "sterilize" means to "make something sterile."

The suffix/prefix -ize is used to form verbs that mean "to make" or "to become." It is often added to nouns or adjectives to create new verbs, such as "organize" from "organ" or "modernize" from "modern."
