antiquize

/ænˈtɪk.aɪz/
make appear old
古く見せる
語源
'antiquize' originates from English, formed from the adjective 'antique' plus the verb-forming suffix '-ize' (from Greek/Latin via French), where 'antique' ultimately came from Latin 'antiquus' meaning 'old'.
'antiquus'(ラテン語)
Initially the roots referred simply to 'old' or 'ancient'; over time the formed verb came to mean 'to make or give the appearance of being old' rather than denoting genuine age.
