How Do You Spell UNHUMANISE?

Pronunciation: [ʌnhjˈuːmɐnˌa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The spelling of "unhumanise" is a bit confusing at first glance. It is pronounced as /ʌnhjuːmənaɪz/ and is composed of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "reverse of" and the verb "humanize". The -ize suffix is often used to form verbs, meaning to make something into a specific state (in this case, to make something not human). The spelling follows the typical English spelling conventions, although the terminal -ise could also be used in some variants of English.

UNHUMANISE Meaning and Definition

1. Unhumanise is a verb that refers to the act of depriving or removing human qualities, characteristics, or attributes from someone or something. It is the process of making or rendering someone or something less human-like, often resulting in a loss of empathy, compassion, or understanding.

   When a person or group is unhumanised, they are treated as if they are not deserving of basic human rights, respect, or dignity. This can involve dehumanizing language, actions, or policies that seek to strip individuals of their humanity, reducing them to mere objects or lesser beings. The purpose behind unhumanisation may be to marginalize, degrade, or oppress others, often with the intent of justifying mistreatment or discrimination.

   Unhumanisation can occur in different contexts, such as in war, conflicts, or systemic structures, where one group seeks to exert power or control over another. It can manifest through psychological and physical abuse, degrading imagery, or the denial of basic needs and freedoms. Unhumanisation reinforces barriers between different groups and perpetuates a sense of "us versus them," fostering division and perpetuating injustice.

   It is important to recognize and challenge the act of unhumanisation, as it goes against principles of equality, fairness, and human rights. By promoting empathy, understanding, and inclusivity, societies can strive to counteract unhumanisation and create a more just and compassionate world.

Etymology of UNHUMANISE

The word "unhumanise" is a verb that is derived from the adjective "inhuman" and the suffix "-ize".

The term "inhuman" first emerged in the late 14th century and is derived from the Latin word "inhumanus". It consists of two parts: "in" meaning "not" or "opposite of", and "humanus" meaning "human".

The suffix "-ize" comes from Greek and is used to form verbs that mean "to make" or "to become". It was later adopted into English, mostly through French, and is typically added to nouns or adjectives to create verbs.

Therefore, by adding the suffix "-ize" to "inhuman", we get the verb "unhumanise", which means "to make or become inhuman" or "to deprive of human qualities or characteristics".
