homogenising
Blending into sameness
Homogenising is the British spelling of homogenizing—making something uniform or consistent throughout.
Milk is homogenised so the cream doesn't separate.
The term often carries negative connotations when applied to culture: Critics worried the chain stores were homogenising the high street.
The process eliminates variety in favor of sameness.
