Other forms: analysed; analysing
To analyse (analyze is U.S. English) something is to consider it in detail so you can figure out its workings or meaning.
Analyse comes from Greek roots meaning «loosen.» If you analyse something, it’s as if you’re untying it and letting the different parts separate so that you can study them. If you’ve got some mystery substance, you can analyse it by performing chemical reactions to break it into its parts. If you analyse a poem, you look at it word-by-word and even sound-by-sound. But remember that analyse is a British spelling, with analyze as the American version.

Analyze means to study or examine something carefully in a methodical way. If you analyze your math tests from earlier in the year, you’ll be able to figure out what you most need to study for the final exam.
This verb analyze comes from the noun analysis. The noun analysis was in turn borrowed from Greek, from analyein, or «to dissolve.» If you go into analysis, it means that you will be examined and helped by a mental health professional — who will analyze your particular problems and help you find solutions.
