glassify
Glassify is a term used across several fields to denote making something glass-like, either in material form or in appearance. The precise meaning depends on context; in science, it often refers to vitrification, the process of turning a material into a glassy, non-crystalline state, typically by rapid cooling from a melt or by chemical means that suppress crystallization. In waste management and materials engineering, glassification describes immobilizing substances within a glass matrix to improve stability and durability, such as vitrifying certain wastes for safer long-term containment.
In construction, art, and manufacturing, glassify can describe applying a glassy coating or glaze to a surface
In design and user interface contexts, glassify (or glassy) is used informally to describe visual treatments
The term is not a standardized technical term across all fields, and its precise meaning is determined
