Root Explanation

Zombification → It is formed from "zombie" (originating from Haitian Creole *zonbi*, meaning a reanimated corpse) and "-fication" (from Latin *facere*, meaning to make or do). The word "zombification" refers to the process of making someone or something into a zombie or causing a state resembling that of a zombie.

Memory Tip

Imagine the process of 'making' ('-fication') someone into a 'zombie' — that's how zombification describes turning someone into a zombie-like state.
