Verb
conservatize (third-person singular simple present conservatizes, present participle conservatizing, simple past and past participle conservatized)
- To make or become conservative.
1985 December 21, Tatiana Schreiber, “Lesbian-Feminist Continues Fight For Tenure”, in Gay Community News, volume 13, number 23, page 3:Sinsheimer, a biologist, has said in speeches that as a scientist he has to believe in a value-free science. But, says Shaw, "A belief in a value-free science ensures that those who can pay for the science, like corporations and governments, get what they want," and this has a conservatizing effect on academic research.
