To cover with cloth or to dress in clothes; to clothe.
From cloth + -ify (Latin suffix meaning 'to make'). A rare and archaic verb, mostly obsolete, replaced by the simpler 'clothe' but following the standard English pattern of making verbs from nouns with the -ify suffix.
While 'clothify' never caught on in common speech, its existence reveals how productive English word-formation is—speakers could logically create verbs from nouns using -ify, and even if the word disappeared, it follows rules we still use today to make new words like 'digitify' or 'robotify.'
