Freed from coarseness, vulgarity, or thick material; refined or purified by removal of grossness.
From de- (remove) + crassus (thick, coarse in Latin) + -ified (made into). 'Crassus' in Latin literally meant thick or gross, and metaphorically meant coarse or vulgar. The -ified suffix means 'made into' or 'rendered.'
This ultra-rare word appears in old philosophy texts where scholars wanted to describe purifying rough materials or coarse thinking into something refined—it's like 'decrassified thought' means thinking stripped of its vulgarity and stupidity.
