To make futile or ineffective; to render useless or unsuccessful.
From futile plus the verb-forming suffix '-ize,' creating an action verb meaning to cause something to become futile.
Futilize is a rare verb that perfectly captures the process of things becoming pointless—it's the active version of 'watching your efforts futilize,' though the word itself rarely appears in print, making it technically correct but practically ghostly.
