How Do You Spell ENIGMATISE?

Etymology of ENIGMATISE

The word "enigmatise" is derived from the noun "enigma", which comes from the Latin word "aenigma" and the Greek word "ainigma". Both the Latin and Greek terms referred to a riddle, a dark saying, or a mystery. The suffix "-ize" is added to "enigma" to form the verb "enigmatize", which means to turn something into an enigma or to make it mysterious and puzzling. Over time, "enigmatise" became a variant spelling of "enigmatize", maintaining the same meaning of making something enigmatic or mysterious.
