Angelize

/ˈændʒəˌlaɪz/ verb

Definition

To make angelic or to transform into an angel; to give something an angelic quality.

Etymology

From 'angel' plus the verb-forming suffix '-ize', following the standard English pattern of turning nouns into verbs.

Kelly Says

While 'angelicize' uses 'angelic' as the base and 'angelize' uses 'angel' directly, both verbs are rare and mostly poetic—showing that '-ize' is powerful but not every possible verb it could create actually gets used in practice.
