Definition
To make an effigy of; to represent in sculptured or artistic form; to portray or depict.
Etymology
From Latin effigies (effigy) + -ate (verb-forming suffix). This back-formation from 'effigy' is extremely rare in modern English but grammatically valid.
Kelly Says
This verb probably never existed in classical Latin—English speakers invented it centuries later by adding -ate to 'effigy,' showing how language creates new verbs by analogy!
