homogenized
Blended until consistent
Homogenized describes something made uniform throughout.
Milk is homogenized by breaking fat globules into particles small enough to stay suspended rather than rising as cream.
The term extends to anything blended into sameness: The neighborhood became homogenized as chain stores replaced local shops.
Often carries a critical edge, suggesting loss of distinctive character or diversity.
