The process of making something diabolic or extremely wicked.
Formed from diabolic + -fication (from Latin facere, 'to make'), following the pattern of words like 'purification' and 'clarification' that describe transformative processes.
The -fication suffix comes from Latin and was hugely productive in formal English, creating words that describe turning something into a different state—like 'clarification' (making clear) or 'solidification' (making solid).
