What does IGNIFY mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To turn into fire or make burn.
To ignify something is to set it alight or change it into flame, a rare and rather learned word that belongs to older scientific and poetic writing. It is built from the Latin word for fire, ignis, with the ending -fy that means to make, the same pattern seen in liquefy and solidify. Today it is met mostly in dictionaries and word lists rather than in everyday speech.
