Glutimate

/ˈɡluːtɪmeɪt/ verb

Definition

To treat or combine with gluten or glutinous material (rare usage).

Etymology

Derived from gluten with the verb-forming suffix -ate. This is a rare or specialized term that may appear in technical contexts, though it's not commonly used in modern English.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it barely registers in modern English—it shows how productive our language is at creating verbs by adding -ate to nouns, even when the result isn't particularly useful.
