establish
Create and formalize
Establish means to set up or bring into being on a firm, lasting basis.
You establish a business, a rule, a precedent, or a reputation.
To establish something as true is to demonstrate it beyond doubt: The investigation established that no crime had occurred.
Once established, something is accepted, settled, or entrenched: an established tradition, the established order.
To establish yourself somewhere is to settle in securely.
