itemises

Sets out separately

Itemises is the British spelling of itemizes, meaning to list things one by one or break something down into individual components.

You itemise expenses on a report, deductions on a tax return, or complaints in a letter.

The word implies methodical, detailed enumeration rather than a casual list.
