Enliterate

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."

Ended up, this word (and its variations) that I can't even find in dictionaries have appeared in various sources...

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
