To make something mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand; to express something as a riddle or enigma.
From enigma + -ize (verb suffix meaning 'to cause to become'). The -ize suffix comes from Greek and was productive in English for creating verbs.
When you enigmatize something, you're doing the opposite of explaining it—you're intentionally making it confusing, like when a politician gives an answer that technically says nothing.
