To make something sound like or adopt the characteristics of Debussy's musical style.
Formed from 'Debussyan' (relating to Debussy) with the suffix '-ize' (to make or cause to be). This is a specialized term used in music criticism and composition.
Composers who 'debussyanize' their work are trying to capture that misty, impressionistic quality—using parallel chords, unusual scales, and ambiguous harmonic progressions to evoke emotion rather than tell a clear story.
