Definition
To make someone act like a dunce or to reduce someone to stupidity; to cause someone to seem foolish.
Etymology
From 'dunce' with the verbal suffix '-ify' (from Latin '-ficare,' meaning 'to make or cause to be'). The suffix appears in verbs like 'terrify,' 'amplify,' and 'stupify.'
Kelly Says
The '-ify' suffix is so productive in English that you can technically turn almost any noun or adjective into an action verb, which is why 'duncify' makes instant sense even if you've never heard it before—the pattern does the heavy lifting.
