formulation

Recipe for creation

Formulation is the process of creating or developing something according to a precise method or recipe, or the product that results from such a process.

Pharmaceutical companies develop formulations of drugs; chemists create formulations of compounds.

The word also applies to expressing ideas in a careful, deliberate way: Her formulation of the argument was precise and persuasive.

A formulation can be the specific version or form that something takes: This new formulation of the vaccine requires no refrigeration.
