Baskonize

/ˈbæskənaɪz/ verb

Etymology

From 'basket' with the suffix '-ize' (from Greek 'izein'), meaning to make into or treat as basketwork.

Kelly Says

The '-ize' suffix is a productivity powerhouse in English—it's how we create verbs from almost anything, allowing speakers to invent new meanings on the fly, which is exactly why Shakespeare invented hundreds of words we still use.
