normalized
Brought to standard
Normalized means made standard or brought into conformity with a norm.
Data gets normalized when adjusted to a common scale for comparison.
Relations between countries normalize when they return to ordinary diplomatic terms after a period of tension.
In casual use, normalized often describes how something once unusual becomes accepted as ordinary: Social media has normalized oversharing.
The word can carry disapproval when applied to things the speaker believes shouldn't be accepted.
