effectuating

as in “effectuating real change”.

Please, sweet Flying Spaghetti Monster, make the compulsive adding of redundant syllables stop.

    Bet someone at the 2020 Big Weekend used “effectuating”!
    A much beloved workshop term.
    There must be a large volume somewhere full of these silly words by now.
