An archaic and informal verb form meaning made to feel faint, dizzy, or overwhelmed — typically from shock, heat, or emotional distress. The '-ified' suffix gives it a slightly exaggerated, humorous quality, as if the faintness were imposed from outside. The word appears in 19th-century American literature and dialect writing, often in contexts of overwrought sentiment or comic effect. It is essentially obsolete in modern use but occasionally surfaces in historical fiction or pastiche.
She declared herself entirely faintified by the heat and refused to take another step until someone fetched her a fan.
