Alganise

Alganise: verb. To cover something with algae, lending it a strangely thick green colour. The word alganise itself is usually used in the passive voice; one won´t often hear about algae alganising an obect, but rather of an object being alganised. The word was first used in relation to sloths who are alganised within a few weeks after birth, but the term soon spread to encompass not only these lazy mammals; after sloths, the most commonly associated "victims" of alganisation are ponds and lakes which are often covered by a thick layer of algae resulting in the well known process called eutrophication.
