Learn English – word that means ‘boring to death’

single-word-requests

Is there a word in English that is more or less synonymous with 'boring to death', as for example, fratricide is synonymous with killing a brother?

I would guess that there probably isn't a 'proper' word for boring to death, but I'd be grateful for any intelligent suggestions!

Stultify is very close. Stultify at Vocabulary.com

When something stultifies you, it drains you of your energy, enthusiasm, or pleasure. A well-acted Shakespeare play can be a thrill. A poorly acted one can stultify like nothing else.

The verb stultify is sometimes used in place of "bore" or "exhaust," but only if something is so boring or exhausting that it makes you feel as though you might just die.
