Edituate

/ɪˈdɪtʃuːeɪt/ verb

Definition

A rare or technical verb meaning to edit, or to produce editions of a text.

Etymology

From Latin 'editus' (published, brought out), related to 'editio' (edition). This formal, scholarly verb is very uncommon in modern English.

Kelly Says

You almost never see 'edituate' used anymore—it's the kind of word scholars might use in extremely formal academic writing about textual history, but regular editors just say 'edit.'
