Definition
To make distinct or to cause to become clearly different or recognizable; to distinguish or differentiate.
Etymology
From distinct + -ify suffix (meaning 'to make or become'). This is a rare or archaic formation meaning to render something distinct.
Kelly Says
The '-ify' suffix is super productive in English—we keep making new words like 'destruct-ify' and 'scient-ify'—but old words like 'distinctify' mostly died out because we preferred simpler alternatives!
