Bestializes

/bɛˈstʃəlaɪzɪz/ verb

Etymology

From bestialize + -s (third-person singular marker). Standard English verb conjugation from Latin bestia via French and medieval philosophy texts.

Kelly Says

In English, we add -s to verbs in third person ('he bestializes'), but Romance languages handle this differently—Italian would be 'bestializza'—showing how Germanic and Latinate grammar took different evolutionary paths after the Norman Conquest.
