Angularize

Definition

To make angular; to give angles or sharp corners to something, or to make something appear angular.

Etymology

From 'angular' plus '-ize,' the English suffix meaning 'to make or cause to become.' This follows the productive pattern of turning adjectives into verbs with '-ize.'

Kelly Says

The '-ize' suffix is so powerful in English that you can take almost any adjective and turn it into a verb—'angular' becomes 'angularize.' This is why English feels flexible and creative compared to many other languages!
