To make farcical; to turn something into a farce or to make it seem absurd and ridiculous.
Formed from 'farce' plus the verb-forming suffix '-ify' (from Latin '-ficare'), which means 'to make' or 'to cause to be.' This creates a verb that means 'to make into a farce.'
The '-ify' suffix is a powerful English tool for creating verbs—'horrify,' 'simplify,' 'terrify,' 'beautify'—all mean 'to make' or 'to cause.' It's so productive that we can even invent new verbs this way and English speakers immediately understand them.
