Crystalizing is a less common spelling of crystallizing—forming into crystals or becoming clear and definite.
A solution crystalizes when solids precipitate out.
Ideas crystalize when they take definite shape: Her vague concerns were crystalizing into a plan of action.
The single-l spelling follows American simplification patterns but remains nonstandard.
