Definition

To become real, visible, or actual, especially after being imagined or planned. Can mean to suddenly appear, often in a surprising way.

Usage & Nuances

Often used in both formal and informal contexts. It can refer to abstract things (plans, hopes) becoming real or physical things (like ghosts) suddenly appearing. Common mistake: confusing with 'manifested', which is more about clear expression than actual emergence.
