corinthianize

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. To live like the Corinthians; hence, to lead a life of licentiousness and debauchery.
2. In architecture, to design or to be designed somewhat in the spirit of the Corinthian order. Thus the Byzantine capitals of the fifth century and later, founded upon sharp, thistle-like leafage resembling the acanthus, are assumed to be deliberate imitations of Corinthian capitals, and may be said to be Corinthianized.
