Adjective

Frenchified (comparative more Frenchified, superlative most Frenchified)

1. Made French or more French-like.
   • 1904, Joseph Conrad, Nostromo, Part II, Chapter 3, page 168

     This life, whose dreary superficiality is covered by the glitter of universal blague, like the stupid clowning of a harlequin by the spangles of a motley costume, induced in him a Frenchified—but most un-French—cosmopolitanism, in reality a mere barren indifferentism posing as intellectual superiority.

2. (slang) Having contracted a venereal disease.
