realization
The penny drops
Realization is the moment something becomes clear or understood—a sudden comprehension: The realization hit her that she'd been lied to.
It also means making something real or actual: the realization of a dream, the realization of a plan.
In finance, realization is converting assets to cash: realization of profits.
British spelling: realisation.
