materializes

Suddenly comes into view

Materializes means to appear or come into being, often suddenly or unexpectedly: A figure materialized out of the fog.

It can describe something abstract becoming real or concrete: Her plans finally materialized after years of work.

In spiritualist contexts, to materialize is for a spirit to take visible form.

The word often carries a sense of something emerging from nothing or from possibility into actuality.
