verbalises

Puts into words

Verbalises is the British spelling of verbalizes, meaning to express something in words.

When you verbalise a thought or feeling, you put it into spoken or written language rather than leaving it unspoken or merely felt.

She struggled to verbalise her frustration.

The term often implies making explicit what was previously implicit or internal, and appears frequently in psychological and educational contexts where articulating thoughts is considered beneficial.
