granulates
Makes into particles
Granulates means forms into small grains or particles.
Sugar granulates during processing; salt granulates as brine evaporates.
Wounds granulate when new tissue forms in small, grain-like clusters during healing.
The term appears in both industrial contexts—The machine granulates plastic for recycling—and medical ones: The wound is granulating nicely.
