conceptualises
Forms abstract ideas
Conceptualises is the British spelling of conceptualizes—to form a concept or mental picture of something, to think about an idea in abstract terms: She conceptualises the project as three distinct phases.
The word appears often in academic and creative contexts where someone is developing or framing ideas: How do you conceptualise the relationship between art and commerce?
