abjectify

Verb CEFR B2

Definitions

To treat or regard as abject.

transitive

Examples

That he cannot pity her may be emotional ailment on Chester's part, but if, as I am suggesting here, one avoids pathologizing his reaction, then Chester operates as a masculine devotee who refuses to objectify the feminine body; an (ostensibly) able-bodied viewer who refuses to “abjectifythe disabled body.”
