Pronounced de-being-ify. It is to deny someone or something's beingness and immanent persona. Objectifying it, dismissing it as trite or inconsequential. Also, dehumanizing, defining people (and nature) in utilitarian, mechanistic terms.

Corporations have debeingified nature, treating it as a mere object, thus legitimizing their rape of it.
