This text explains using a venerable problem of recreational mathematics what means to “geometrize’’ and what advantage may be obtained from such a process. It is shown that the meaning of this verb is intimately related with the meaning of the noun “space’’. A few criteria allowing to recognize that an object of thought is a “space’’ are described.
