Biographize

/baɪˈɑɡrəfaɪz/ verb

Definition

To write or create a biography about someone; to describe or record someone's life story.

Etymology

From biography plus -ize suffix, creating a verb. This less common verb form allows 'biography' to be used as an action, similar to how 'history' became 'historicize.'

Kelly Says

Modern celebrities get biographized while they're still alive—sometimes even during award acceptance speeches—because social media makes everyone feel like their life story is instantly important.
