founds
Brings into being
Founds is the third-person singular of found, meaning to establish or create something intended to last—an institution, organization, or settlement: She founds a new charity every few years.
A different found means to melt and pour metal into a mold, as in a foundry: The artisan founds bronze sculptures using traditional methods.
