verbify
Turn into verb
Verbify means to turn a word into a verb, especially a noun: They verbified "friend" when Facebook let you friend someone.
The word is jocular, often used when commenting on language change.
English readily converts nouns to verbs—Google became to google, text became to text—and verbify names this process while exemplifying it.
