Beautifies

/ˈbjuːtɪfaɪz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of beautify; makes or causes something to become more beautiful or attractive.

Etymology

From 'beauty' plus the verb-forming suffix '-fy' (to make or cause), conjugated in third person singular present. The suffix '-fy' comes from Latin 'facere' meaning 'to make.'

Kelly Says

The verb 'beautify' sounds fancy, but it's just a fancy way of saying 'makes pretty'—which is why you'll hear it in official speeches but not when friends talk to each other!
