The process of making something or someone devilish or wicked; corrupting or tainting with evil.
Present participle of 'devilize,' formed with '-ing' (from Old English -ing/-ung, marking continuous or progressive action). The '-ing' form is one of the most versatile in English.
The '-ing' suffix can be a verb form, a noun, or an adjective—'I am running' (verb), 'running is fun' (noun), 'the running man' (adjective). Few language features are so grammatically flexible.
