harmonising
Bringing into accord
Harmonising is the British spelling of harmonizing.
To harmonise is to bring into agreement or make compatible: The committee worked to harmonise regulations across member states.
In music, it means adding complementary notes to a melody: She harmonised beautifully on the chorus.
The word extends to any blending that creates unity from separate elements.
