With apologies to ipse dixit...

Izelitization: The tendency of some people who want to sound more intelligent to add the suffix -ize to any word, verb or noun, (colorize, historize, problematize) to make it shed more light on the meaning and appear more grand. This tendency, unfortunately, has the opposite effect and makes the izelitizator just sound stupid.
