CIDE DICTIONARY

oxidizev. t. 
     To combine with oxygen, or subject to the action of oxygen, or of an oxidizing agent.  [1913 Webster]
    " In certain cases to oxidize is identical with to acidify; for, in nearly all cases, the more oxygen a substance contains the more nearly does it approximate to acid qualities; thus, by oxidation many elements, as sulphur, nitrogen, carbon, chromium, manganese, etc., pass into compounds which are acid anhydrides, and thus practically in the acid state."  [1913 Webster]
