conventionalizing
Rendering more orthodox
Conventionalizing is making something conform to conventional standards or forms.
In art and design, it means reducing natural objects to simplified, stylized patterns: The designer was conventionalizing floral motifs for the wallpaper.
More broadly, it describes the process of making something ordinary or traditional: Years of compromise had the effect of conventionalizing their once-radical ideas.
