Why this word is great
UNSOLEMNIZE — [Verb] To divest of solemnity, to render less solemn. From un- ("reverse action") + solemnize ("to make solemn"), with solemnize deriving from Middle English solempnisen, Old French solemnisier, and Medieval Latin solemnizare, from Latin sollemnis ("solemn"). Unlike "desecrate" (which implies active violation of sacredness) or "lighten" (which suggests a broad easing of weight or mood), "unsolemnize" neutrally strips away gravity, leaving ceremony intact but unburdened. It is the child’s giggle during a eulogy, the sunlight breaking through stained glass to reveal motes of dust where only reverence was meant to dwell, or the way a forgotten joke scribbled in a hymnal margin quietly undoes the piety of an entire page—proof that solemnity is a garment, not a law.
