macadamizev.

Brit.

/məˈkadəmʌɪz/, U.S.

/məˈkædəˌmaɪz/

Forms: 1800s Macadamize, 1800s Mac-adamize, 1800s M'Adamize, 1800s McAdamize, 1800s– macadamise, 1800s– macadamize.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name McAdam , -ize suffix.

Etymology: < the name of John Loudon McAdam (see macadam adj. and n.) + -ize suffix.

a. transitive. Originally: to make or repair (a road) according to McAdam's method. In modern use: to cover (an unmade road, etc.) with tarmacadam.McAdam's method for repairing roads used a consolidated subsoil, only slightly cambered, on which were laid two layers of cleaned, uniformly small pieces of broken stone. The first layer was to be consolidated (originally by the passage of traffic) before the next was put down. He did not approve of the placing of any kind of foundation under the layers of stone, of the use of sand or gravel as binding material, or of the smoothing of the surface by heavy rollers; the term ‘macadamizing’, however, is now used for methods involving some or all of these practices.Thomas Telford, McAdam's contemporary and fellow Scot, was active in road-building at the same time. His methods were generally superior, but McAdam's were less costly to implement. McAdam also publicized his system very effectively, as in his books Remarks on the Present System of Road-making (1816) and A Practical Essay on the Scientific Repair and Preservation of Roads (1819).
