Babyfied

/ˈbeɪbifaɪd/ adjective

Definition

Made to look or act like a baby; oversimplified or made overly cute and infantile.

Etymology

From baby plus the past participle suffix -fied (from Latin facere, to make). Created to describe making something more babyish.

Kelly Says

Babyfied is usually used critically—like when someone says a design is 'babyfied' or an adult is being 'babyfied,' it implies something was dumbed down or made inappropriately cutesy when it should be more sophisticated!
