“impossibleize

To make a thing impossible.

When writing a list, to “impossibleize” a new word I am proposing or minimize confusion, make all the items on your list simple, clear, and uniform. Also make all the nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, idea units, and clauses as structurally similar as you can.
