Deuglify
verb Affixation
To make something more appealing; to simplify. The verb '(to) deuglify' is formed by two kinds of affixation to a root adjective 'ugly' (which is respelled 'ugli' when suffix is attached), the attachment of a prefix 'de-' meaning "not" and a suffix '-fy' which changes the inflection of the word and makes it a verb, very similar to the word 'deacidify'. It was coined since there is no simple native or borrowed English word that conveys this action. Since it is a neologism it is fairly informal but really has no other connotation so it could be used by anyone in a variety of circumstances.
Etymology : Affixation: Root adj. 'ugly' (not attractive) + prefix 'de' ('not') + verb suffix '-fy'
