realisation

Moment of clarity

Realisation is the British spelling of realization.

It names the moment when something becomes clear to you: The realisation hit her that she'd left the stove on.

It also means bringing something into being—the realisation of a dream, a plan, a vision.

In finance, realisation is converting assets into cash.
