What English words contain both the letter "v" and the letter "z"?

Question

Just curious... I could only think of Venezuela, which is a proper noun so I don't think it really counts.

Answer 1

Leaving out proper names (like Venezuela), there are at least485 words that fit your description (see list at the bottom).

Since there is a lot of repetition in the list (forms that are the same except for common prefixes and suffixes, plurals, masculine/feminine...). here's my 'boiled down' list of 101 'root' words.

activize, advertize, avianize, bolshevize, civilianize, civilize, collectivize, conservatize, conventionalize, conversazione, conveyorize, czarevitch, czarevna, derivatize, devitalize, devocalize, divinize, envenomize, evangelize, evzone, extravaganza, galvanize, governmentalize, hypercivilized, incentivize, individualize, jarovize, kuvasz, kuvaszok, misvocalization, mitzvah, novelize, ovariectomized, overanalyze, overcapitalize, overcentralize, overcivilized, overcommercialize, overdramatize, overemphasize, overfertilize, overgeneralize, overglamorize, overglaze, overgraze, overhomogenize, overidealize, overindustrialize, overintellectualize, overorganize, overprize, oversize, overspecialize, overutilize, overzeal, privatdozent, privatize, provincialize, pulverize, relativize, rendezvous, revolutionized, slivovitz, sovietization, sovkhoz, subjectivize, substantivize, subvocalize, supercivilized, trivialize, tzarevna, universalize, unverbalized, valorize, vandalize, vaporize, varisized, vascularization, vasectomize, velarize, ventriloquize, verbalize, vernalize, victimize, visualize, vitalize, vizard, vizcacha, vizier, vizor, vizsla, vocalize, volatilize, vowelize, vulcanize, vulgarize, zelkova, zemstvo, zidovudine, zouave, zyzzyva

(Note how important the suffix "-ize" is; it accounts for 70 of these words, and a much larger proportion of the complete list.)
