uniformizing
Rendering all alike
Uniformizing means making things uniform—standardizing or bringing consistency to something variable.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: mathematicians speak of uniformizing a function or surface, while engineers might discuss uniformizing a process.
The new software helped in uniformizing data formats across departments.
The word carries a slightly formal or specialized tone compared to simpler alternatives like standardizing.
