Emusify

/ˈɛmjuːsɪfaɪ/ verb

Definition

To convert into or give the characteristics of an emu; to make emu-like.

Etymology

Constructed from 'emu' (Portuguese ema, from Tupi) plus the productive English suffix '-ify' (from Latin facere, 'to make'). This is a neologism or technical coinage.

Kelly Says

Most words ending in -ify like 'beautify' or 'clarify' are well-established, but 'emusify' is almost certainly not in standard dictionaries—it's the kind of word you could technically create in English but would rarely use unless you were writing something humorous or very specialized.
