A rare or obsolete verb meaning 'to make dry' or 'to desiccate', from Latin roots.
From Latin 'arefacere' (arēre, to be dry + facere, to make). An extremely rare English formation from classical medical language.
Arefy is one of those words that looks real but hardly anyone used it even when English allowed this kind of Latin-derived verb formation—it's more of a theoretical possibility than actual historical usage!
