Studying the parts
Analysing is the British spelling of analyzing—the present participle of analyse.
To analyse is to examine something methodically, breaking it into components to understand its structure or meaning: She spent hours analysing the data.
The spelling with an s rather than a z is standard in British English and most Commonwealth countries.
