Other forms: analyzed; analyzing; analyzes

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.
