Acetified

/əˈsɛtɪˌfaɪd/ adjective

Definition

Converted into or treated with acetic acid; turned into vinegar or an acetic compound.

Etymology

From 'acetify' (to make acetic) + '-ed' (past participle suffix). 'Acetify' comes from Latin 'acetum' (vinegar) + '-fy' (meaning 'to make').

Kelly Says

When you make homemade vinegar, you're watching acetified alcohol happen—mother of vinegar (a living culture of bacteria) eats the alcohol and breathes out acetic acid, literally converting your mistakes into treasure!
