Giantize

/ˈdʒaɪəntaɪz/ verb

Definition

To make something giant in size; to enlarge something greatly or cause it to become enormous.

Etymology

From 'giant' + '-ize' (a productive suffix meaning 'to make' or 'to cause to become'). The '-ize' suffix comes from Greek '-izein' and became common in English technical and scientific terminology.

Kelly Says

While 'giantize' is not commonly used, it appears in science fiction and fantasy writing—authors need verbs to describe transformation into giants, just like 'roboticize' or 'digitize' describe other speculative changes.
