To organize or conduct a counterrevolution against an established revolutionary government or system.
From counterrevolution + -ize (to cause or become). The -ize suffix comes from Greek -izein. This verb form is rare and emerged in academic and political texts discussing revolutionary cycles.
This might be the most dramatic verb you've never used—to counterrevolutionize a nation means to undo everything a revolution accomplished, which is nearly impossible once a generation has been born into the new system.
