Giddify

/ˈɡɪdɪfaɪ/ verb

Definition

To make giddy; to cause dizziness or frivolous excitement.

Etymology

From giddy plus the suffix -ify (meaning 'to make' or 'to cause to be'), following English patterns like 'terrify,' 'glorify,' 'simplify.'

Kelly Says

The -ify suffix is a linguistic power-up: add it to almost any adjective and you can turn it into a verb, so theoretically 'giddify' means to fill something with the essence of giddiness.
