ritualised
Turned into ceremony
Ritualised is the British spelling of ritualized.
Something ritualised has been made into a ritual—formalized through repetition until it follows a fixed pattern.
Animal behaviorists describe ritualised displays: The birds performed ritualised courtship dances.
Human activities become ritualised when their form matters as much as their function: Their morning coffee had become ritualised, each step performed in precise order.
