incarnating
Taking physical form
Incarnating is giving bodily form to something abstract or spiritual.
A religious sense dominates: Christ incarnating as human, a deity incarnating on earth.
More broadly, a person may incarnate a quality or idea: She seemed to be kindness incarnating before our eyes.
The word emphasizes the process of embodiment rather than the finished state.
