materialisation
Taking physical form
Materialisation is the British spelling of materialization—the process of becoming real or taking physical form.
A plan materialises when it moves from idea to reality.
In spiritualist contexts, materialisation refers to the supposed appearance of spirits or objects during a séance: The medium claimed to produce materialisations of the dead.
