materialization
Appearing from nothing
Materialization is the act or process of becoming real or taking physical form.
A plan materializes when it actually happens: After years of delays, the project finally reached materialization.
In spiritualist contexts, materialization refers to the supposed appearance of spirits in visible, tangible form during séances.
The word often describes something abstract becoming concrete: the materialization of her worst fears.
