asexualize

/eɪsˈɛkʃuəlˌaɪz/ verb

To render asexual.

Word Origin Similar to desexualize but with Greek a- 'without' instead of de-. Asexualize means to make without sex, to render non-sexual. The prefix a- (alpha privative) appears in atheist (without god), amoral (without morals). The root sexus again from *sek- 'cut'. So asexualize is literally 'to make without the cut/division'. The breakdown a+sex+ual+ize shows the negation.
