Definition

Formed from 'flamboyant' with the '-ize' suffix (meaning to make or cause to become). A very rare formation that follows standard English verb-formation patterns.

Kelly Says

'Flamboyantize' is theoretically possible in English but almost never actually used—it shows the difference between what language rules allow and what speakers actually choose to say.
