Experimentize

/ɪk.ˈspɛɹ.ə.mɛn.taɪz/ verb

Definition

To perform experiments on something; to conduct or carry out experiments; to test or treat experimentally.

Etymology

From experiment + -ize (suffix creating verbs meaning 'to make' or 'to perform'). The -ize suffix is highly productive in English for converting nouns into verbs. This is a rare or archaic form.

Kelly Says

When you 'experimentize' something, you're putting it through the scientific method—it's a more formal way of saying 'let's experiment on this,' and while uncommon today, it reminds us that English constantly creates new verbs from nouns!
