To collateralize a loan — or to collateralize a house, land, or other goods — is to promise that thing as backup when you borrow money. If you cannot pay the money back, the lender can take it. The thing you promise is the collateral; collateralize is the verb for putting it in that position. Banks, lawyers, and business news use this word. Everyday English is plainer: “They used the house as collateral.” Though actually, you will also hear banks collateralize a pile of loans, meaning they turn them into a product they can sell on. That is specialist talk, not daily speech.
