Is there a word that means "to cause to take on the aspect of cuteness" ??  I have a tendency to just invent words for situations like these when I’m not sure that one already exists… perhaps cutenize?  or cutify (cutefy)?  We could use a prefix instead… like encute or something…

Well, as far as making something cute goes, you could always try prettify, beautify, doll up, glamorize, or even (yes!) cutify. Cutify is informal and I didn’t find it in some of my dictionaries, but I did find it in my thesaurus, so go ahead and use it. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

If we’re aiming for neologisms, I nominate "adorabilitate".

Thanks all!  I’ll use adorabilitate for my linguistically enhanced conversations, and cutify for those unfortunate non-WOTD subscribers    ;)
