conceptualising
Mentally shaping notions
Conceptualising is forming mental concepts or ideas about something—turning vague impressions into defined thoughts.
It's the process of giving shape to abstract notions: We spent weeks conceptualising the project before writing a single line of code.
The spelling with -ising is British; American English uses conceptualizing.
