BESTIALIZE Meaning and
Definition
-
Bestialize, as a verb, refers to the act or process of dehumanizing or reducing someone or something to the level or qualities of an animal, often in a derogatory or demeaning manner. It involves attributing lower, base instincts, brutality, or savage behaviors to a human or object.
The term "bestialize" is derived from the word "bestial," which means characteristic of or resembling an animal. When applied to individuals or groups, it implies a transformation or degradation of their human qualities, emphasizing their supposed resemblance to animals in terms of their behavior, appearance, or lack of rationality. By bestializing, one aims to belittle or degrade the person or group being referred to, equating them with less desirable animal-like characteristics.
Bestialization can take numerous forms, including verbal or written communication, visual representations, or discriminatory practices. It can be employed to incite fear, hatred, or prejudice against a particular individual or group, often to justify mistreatment or disregard for their rights and dignities.
In a broader context beyond its derogatory usage, "bestialize" can also describe the act of transforming a concept, idea, or situation into something brutal, violent, or grotesque. By associating a previously innocuous object of analysis with animalistic attributes, it seeks to evoke a sense of horror or disgust.
It is important to note that the use of bestialize to dehumanize others is considered unethical and derogatory, promoting harmful stereotypes and prejudices.
Common Misspellings for BESTIALIZE
Etymology of BESTIALIZE
The word "bestialize" is derived from the noun "beast" combined with the suffix "-ize".
The noun "beast" traces back to the Middle English word "beeste" and the Old French word "beste", which originally referred to any animal but eventually came to designate non-human animals or specifically wild animals.
The suffix "-ize" originates from the Greek suffix "-izein", which means "to cause to be" or "to become". It was later adopted by English, particularly through Latin, as a way to form verbs indicating the act of causing or spreading a certain quality or condition.
Thus, the etymology of "bestialize" suggests the action of causing something or someone to become beast-like or to display qualities associated with non-human animals.
