concretising
Giving physical form
Concretising is the British spelling of concretizing—making something abstract more concrete, specific, or tangible.
Ideas get concretised when they take definite form: The architect spent months concretising the client's vague vision into detailed plans.
The word appears in academic and professional contexts where abstractions need grounding in specific examples or practical applications.
