Grundified

/ˈɡrʌndɪfaɪd/ adjective

Definition

Made subject to or influenced by Grundyism; affected by or conforming to strict moral prudishness or conventional morality.

Etymology

From Grundy (the prudish character Mrs. Grundy in Thomas Morton's 1798 play 'Speed the Plough') plus the suffix -ified (made into, rendered). The word dates to 19th-century English usage.

Kelly Says

A real character from a stage play—Mrs. Grundy—became so famous for representing excessive prudishness that her name became a dictionary word and gave us 'Grundyism,' showing how fiction can reshape language!
