commonized
Turned into standard
Commonized describes something that has been made common, standard, or shared across different contexts.
In technical fields, especially engineering and manufacturing, commonized refers to parts or components standardized for use across multiple products or platforms: The automaker commonized its engine block across three vehicle lines to reduce costs.
The word implies deliberate effort to eliminate variation and create interchangeability.
