Why is the word “emasculate?” Wouldn’t it be better if it was “demasculate?” And then you could reverse it, with “remasculate.”
And speaking of improving words, “nefariousness” is just a lame version of “nefarious,” which is a great word. My proposal: “nefarity” as the new noun version.
Final comment: “adequacy” is merely adequate. “Adequacity” is a much fuller and rounder way of describing the state of being adequate. And wouldn’t we all be better off if we were more accepting of things that are simply adequate?
