crystalising
Becoming solid structure
Crystalising is the British spelling of crystallizing.
To crystalise is to form crystals, as when a liquid solidifies into a structured pattern: Sugar crystalises as the syrup cools.
More often, the word is figurative—ideas or plans crystalise when they become clear and definite: Her thoughts finally crystalised into a decision.
