terwujud

Terwujud is an Indonesian term meaning to become real, materialize, or be realized. It describes something that has come into existence or been actualized, such as plans, hopes, or conditions. The word is formed from the noun wujud, meaning existence or form, with the prefix ter-, which in Indonesian indicates a completed state or a resulting condition.

In usage, terwujud often appears with phrases like terwujudnya sesuatu, for example terwujudnya keadilan, meaning the realization of justice. It can function as an adjective or a participle. Related verbs include mewujudkan, which means to realize or bring into being, used transitively as in mewujudkan impian (to realize a dream). The passive form terwujudkan is also used in formal contexts, such as rencana itu telah terwujudkan (the plan has been realized).

Etymology and register: wujud originates from Arabic wujūd (existence, being), incorporated into Indonesian as wujud. The prefix ter- is a productive Indonesian affix, and terwujud conveys a completed or achieved state. The term appears across formal registers—legal, political, and philosophical discourse—as well as in everyday language to describe tangible outcomes or aspirational goals that have come to fruition.

Examples of use: "Harapan publik akhirnya terwujud," "Rencana pembangunan terwujud setelah bertahun-tahun," and "terwujudnya kemiskinan nol." In sum, terwujud denotes the transition from potential or planning to actual existence or manifestation.
