American spelling: to make or become inspired by Dionysian spirit, often meaning to surrender to revelry, ecstasy, or wild celebration.
From 'Dionysian' (relating to Dionysus) + '-ize' (American suffix for verbs), parallel to the British 'dionise' but following American spelling conventions.
The verbs 'dionize' and 'dionise' are rare today, but they capture something important about how language borrows from mythology—when we make a god's name into a verb, we're saying his essence is so powerful it can transform people into new versions of themselves!
