coming into being

Starting to exist

Coming into being describes the process of beginning to exist or becoming real.

It applies to anything that transitions from nonexistence to existence—a nation coming into being through revolution, a friendship coming into being over shared experiences, or an idea coming into being in someone's mind.

The phrase emphasizes the gradual or emergent nature of existence rather than sudden creation.

The treaty marked the coming into being of a new international order.
