LAPIDIFY Meaning and Definition

  1. Lapidify is a verb that refers to the transformation or process of turning something into stone or becoming stone-like in texture or appearance. The term is derived from the Latin word "lapidis," meaning stone.

    In a more literal sense, lapidify can describe the act of petrifying or fossilizing organic materials such as plants or animals, causing them to harden and become mineralized over time. This process typically involves the replacement of organic matter with mineral deposits, resulting in a preservation of the original form or structure.

    In a figurative sense, lapidify can also be used to describe the act of solidifying or making something permanent, unchanging, or unyielding. For example, someone's beliefs or opinions may be described as lapidified if they are firm and resistant to change or new evidence. Similarly, an idea or concept can be said to lapidify when it becomes rigid or inflexible.

    Overall, lapidify encompasses both the literal and metaphorical meanings of turning into stone or becoming stone-like. It can refer to the petrification of organic matter as well as the solidification or inflexibility of ideas, beliefs, or concepts.

  2. To form or convert into stone.
