Years back, I decided to create the word "enliterate" for the convenience of my writing because it sounds good.
Since the prefix "en" can mean "cause to be in a certain condition," I used the word "enliterate" to mean "make someone become literate."
Since the prefix "en" can mean "cause to be in a certain condition," I used the word "enliterate" to mean "make someone become literate."
Ended up, this word (and its variations) that I can't even find in dictionaries have appeared in various sources...
Enliterate
Enliteration
So?
Thank God. Now I don't even have to make an argument about whether "enliterate" is a word since it's been used before! lol
