MYLONITIZE Meaning and
Definition
-
"Mylonitize" is a neologism derived from the word "mylonite," which refers to a fine-grained metamorphic rock characterized by its parallel orientation of minerals caused by intense shearing or mechanical deformation. In a broader sense, "mylonitize" is a verb that describes the geologic process of forming mylonite or the alteration of rocks into a mylonitic texture.
The term "mylonitize" can also be used metaphorically outside of geology to describe the transformation or alteration of something into a different state through a forceful or process-driven manner. In this sense, it implies a profound change or conversion that might not necessarily involve physical materials.
In the context of geology, the process of mylonitization occurs when rocks are subjected to intense pressures and shear stress, typically in fault zones or shear zones, resulting in their deformation and recrystallization. This process causes existing mineral grains to elongate and recrystallize, resulting in the characteristic fine-grained texture and aligned mineral orientation of mylonites.
The term "mylonitize" can also be applied metaphorically in various fields of study, such as psychology or social sciences, to describe transformative changes in individuals, societies, or concepts. It suggests a profound shift or alteration, usually driven by external influences or internal processes, resulting in a significant and lasting change in the subject. In this broader context, "mylonitize" implies a fundamental alteration that may impact the core essence or structure of the subject undergoing the transformation.

Etymology of MYLONITIZE
The word "mylonitize" does not have a well-established etymology as it seems to be a relatively new or lesser-known term. However, it may be related to the geological term "mylonite".
"Mylonite" refers to a fine-grained, foliated rock formed by the intense shearing and deformation of existing rocks along a fault zone. The term "mylonite" itself originates from the Greek words "mylós", meaning mill or grindstone, and "-ite", a suffix indicating rock or mineral. This is because mylonites often have a granular texture resembling crushed rocks.
Based on this, "mylonitize" could potentially be a verb form derived from "mylonite", indicating the process of forming or transforming rocks into mylonite through intense deformation.
