Definition

To make demonic or evil in nature; an extremely rare variant related to demonise.

Etymology

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it barely appears in any historical texts—it seems to be a theoretical construction that linguistically could exist but never gained actual usage, making it a ghost word of English.
