"Quiz" itself has a fascinating origin story from the 1780s, possibly originating as university slang. Legend claims Dublin theater manager Richard Daly invented it in 1791 as part of a bet to introduce a nonsense word into the language within 48 hours. The "-ify" suffix comes from Latin -ficare, from facere meaning "to make." This productive suffix has created numerous English verbs: beautify, simplify, classify.
