Materialization

Continuing Yoni Kinory's line of thought - actualization. "Gashmi" (גשמי) in hebrew means materialized - as opposed to spiritual, and shares the same root as hagshama.

Materializing - as in making something theoretical real - for instance the materialization of a dream or a vision.
Peer comment(s):

agree Noah : It's not from"geshem," meaning rain; it's from medieval Hebrew, a borrowing from Arabic, "jism," meaning body and Hebraized as "geshem."
