That is the British English spelling of analyze(q.v.)

But according to Fowler (whoever HE may be):

"Analyse is better than analyze, but merely as being the one of the two equally indefensible forms that has won. The correct but now impossible form would be analysize oranalysise, with analysist for the existing analyst."

That having been stated, analyze dates from 1600; for more information, please access the related link below:

The word "analyse" originated from the Greek word "analyein," which means "to break down" or "to untie." It entered English in the 17th century through French, where it acquired the spelling "analyse." The word refers to the process of examining something in detail and breaking it down into its constituent parts for better understanding.
