To make or become dolichocephalic; to classify or describe something as having a long, narrow skull shape.
From 'dolichocephalic' with the verbal suffix '-ize' (to make or cause), formed in 19th-century anthropological literature for describing skull-modification processes.
Some ancient cultures artificially dolichocephalized infants' skulls through binding practices—showing that 'natural' skull shapes weren't always natural, and physical variation was sometimes deliberately created for cultural reasons.
