Etiolate
To etiolate a plant or person is to deprive them of light until they develop a sickly hue. Not something I recommend. I'm a person who likes a lot of light myself. Anyway, it's a word that got the word imps thinking hard and that's always worthwhile. Shari and Auntibeck were both equally favoured by the voters. So, yet another tie on the poll. Well done, you two.
