Why “fleshify” is a great word

FLESHIFY — [Verb] To make or become flesh; to incarnate, or to fatten or grow fleshy. From the English noun 'flesh' (meaning the soft substance of a body) + the verb-forming suffix '-ify' (meaning to make or cause to become). Unlike "incarnate," which hallows a spirit in human form, or "fatten," which reduces the process to a utilitarian plumping, to fleshify is the raw, secular miracle of matter assuming soft, animal substance. It is the pale, damp swell of a mushroom cap after rain, the vascular knitting of a wound, or the dreadful solidifying of a ghost in a horror story—a blunt testament to the stubborn, mortal insistence that things turn back towards the body.
