materialize
Suddenly become real
To materialize is to become real or visible—to take physical form.
Ghosts materialize in horror stories; plans materialize when they come to fruition.
The funding never materialized.
A figure materialized out of the fog.
The word implies something appearing that wasn't there before, or something abstract becoming concrete.
