- thehappypm 4y agoMy favorite version of solitaire requires setting aside the aces. I deace the deck before I play.
- aaroninsf 4y agoIt's an example of a valid agglutinative word in English, by their nature many aren't enumerated in conventional dictionaries, though more commonly used ones often appear the the definitions for their primary roots. See also despade, declub, and dediamond (though with the regard to the latter I prefer deadamantize).
- SeanLuke 4y agoThe claimed definition of "deaced" is "deceased", as an adjective. It's not meant to be a combination of morphenes -- it's just gibberish. Your proposed definition is different from what's being discussed here. Regardless: recognized compound verbs and gerunds are listed in dictionaries (like "desensitize" or "delist"). What you're describing are informal coinage invented to and restricted to a limited subpopulation. I'd never heard those terms in my entire life until brought up in this discussion. I'd not call those words unless they showed up in something more authoritative than Wiktionary and HN.
