Strangification

"Strangification" Meaning

A rather obscure term!

The term "strangification" refers to a very old term, mostly used in historical contexts, or in medical, forensic science, and ancient languages.

In general, "strangification" can be interpreted to mean:

1. Suffocation or strangulation by rope or cord.
2. The act of strangling or constricting an object or material, especially a muscle or a part of the body, often with the intent of causing death or impairment.

However, in more contemporary and humorous contexts, it can also imply a playful, awkward, or peculiar modification of something, much like mangling or demangling, but in a more incidental manner, such as in construction or unexpected twisting, eliminating the purpose of something.

This term seems to be an artifact from the late 15th century medical and forensic field.

One reason it has become relatively uncommon is due to the overpowering presence of terms more commonly associated with gangrene and stigmata following their release in the early 16th century which came to mirror along violence, appearance, or slang terms.

Strangelove

"Strangelove" is a surname that was popularized by a 1964 film directed by Stanley Kubrick and written by Terry Southern, Joseph Strick, and Stanley Kubrick.
