solubilizes
Renders into solution
Solubilizes means makes soluble—converts a substance into a form that can dissolve in a liquid.
The term appears mostly in scientific and technical contexts: The detergent solubilizes fats in water.
Chemists and biochemists use it when describing how compounds or agents help otherwise insoluble materials enter solution.
