You can think of dramatize as putting something on a stage. Before, it was only words on a page, or an event that happened and was forgotten. Now someone arranges it into scenes so other people sit down and watch. Turning a novel into a TV series is that, with a real stage. Telling your family that a ten-minute delay ruined the day is that too, with the kitchen as the stage. And when one flooded classroom finally shows everyone that the roof is failing, the problem has been moved to the centre of the stage where it cannot be missed.
From the word’s history
The packet's source entry derives the word from Ancient Greek drâma, a performed play, plus the English ending -ize, which means to turn something into that. So the word literally says: make it into a play.
packet 裡的來源條目寫著：這個字來自古希臘文 δρᾶμα（演出來的戲）加上英文字尾 -ize（把某樣東西變成…）。所以字面就是「把它變成一齣戲」。
