Prioritize and Incentivize?

I don’t think so! It started with the word “prioritize”. Now, turning perfectly beautiful nouns into verbs has become a habit of those trying to sound erudite (look it up!). Making up new words is the sign of an anarchist, but some of the stuff seems just too too too! “Incentivize” is one that came out of the Iowa political caucus — would that be caucusizing? See what I mean?
