*ioniz*

v. t. To prepare or treat with collodion. R. Hunt. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. The act of freeing from inflections. Earle. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To free from inflections. [ 1913 Webster ]

Deflectionized languages are said to be analytic. Earle. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. (Chem.) the act or process of removing ions. [ WordNet 1.5 ]

v. t. 1. (Chem.) to remove ions from (a solution). [ WordNet 1.5 ]

2. to reassociate the ions of (an ionized gas). RHUD [ PJC ]

a. (Chem.) freed from ions by a process of deionization; as, deionized water. In chemistry and biochemistry, experiments often require water free from contaminating ions, and the ordinary distilled water may be subjected to a process of deionization in order to render the ion content sufficiently low so as not to interfere with the investigation. [ PJC ]

n. (Chem.) an apparatus used to remove ions from a solution; a common variant contains a mixture of cation exchange resin in the acid form and anion exchange resin in the hydroxyl form inside a replaceable cartridge; ions in aqueous solution are exchanged for the elements of water by passing the solution through the mixed resin. In chemistry and biochemistry, experiments often require water free from contaminating ions, and ordinary distilled water may be further purified by passing through a deionizer in order to render the ion content sufficiently low so as not to interfere with the investigation. [ PJC ]

v. t. To make irreligious; to turn from religion. [ R. ] [ 1913 Webster ]

He would dereligionize men beyond all others. De Quincey. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To disenchant; to free from illusion. “The bitter disillusionizing experience of postnuptial life.” W. Black. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To act; to represent on the stage, or theatrically. Urquhart. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. (Elec. Chem.) the process of converting neutral atoms or molecules into ions. The process may occur by dissolving an ionic substance in a dissociating solvent, such as water, or by adding or subtracting an electron to or from an atom or molecule. The latter process occurs, for example, in an electron beam in a mass spectrometer and by interaction of substances with ionizing radiation. [ PJC ]

v. i. 1. (Physics, Chemistry) to dissociate into ions, as by dissolution in water or another polar solvent. [ WordNet 1.5 ]

v. t. [ imp. & p. p. Ionized p. pr. & vb. n. Ionizing ] (Physics, Chemistry) To convert (an atom or molecule) into ions, e. g. by dissolving in water, by reaction with acid or alkali, or by interaction with ionizing radiation. See ionization. [ Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC ]

adj. converted totally or partly into ions. Opposite of nonionized and unionized. [ WordNet 1.5 ]

n. rays of rapidly moving subatomic particles, x-reys, or gamma rays, sufficiently energetic to cause ionization when absorbed by matter. Such radiation is emitted by radioactive elements, or may be generated by highly energetic physical processes, as in stars. When absorbed by living tissue, ionizing radiation can cause mutation, cellular damage, or death. [ PJC ]

v. t. [ imp. & p. p. Lionized p. pr. & vb. n. Lionizing ] 1. To treat or regard as a lion or object of great interest. J. D. Forbes. [ 1913 Webster ]

2. To show the lions or objects of interest to; to conduct about among objects of interest. Macaulay. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To flavor. [ Obs. ] [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To bring under the influence of religion. [ R. ] Mallock. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To raise from the dead. [ R. ] Southey. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. [ imp. & p. p. Revolutioniezed p. pr. & vb. n. Revolutionizing ] To change completely, as by a revolution; as, to revolutionize a government. Ames. [ 1913 Webster ]

The gospel . . . has revolutionized his soul. J. M. Mason. [ 1913 Webster ]

v. t. To form into sections. [ R. ] [ 1913 Webster ]
