Decome

Decome is a rarely used and somewhat archaic verb meaning "to become," but specifically implying a transformation or change in nature, state, or condition. It often carries a sense of suitability or fittingness in the resulting state. In other words, something decomes a certain way because it is appropriate or fitting for it to do so. While etymologically related to "become," "decome" emphasizes the fitting nature of the transformation more strongly. The word is largely obsolete in modern English, though occasionally encountered in older literary works or specialized contexts. Its use is now generally considered affected or deliberately archaic.
