visualized

Visualized is the past tense and past participle of visualize. In general usage, to visualize means to form a mental image or concept of something, often to plan, remember, or anticipate outcomes. It can also mean to render something in a visual form, such as creating a chart, diagram, or graphical representation of data. The term comes from visual, from Latin visualis meaning "of sight," with the agentive suffix -ize, giving rise to modern English visualize and its past forms. British English often uses visualised as the spelling.

As a modifier, "visualized" describes something that has been turned into a visual representation: visualized data, a visualized model, or a visualized scene. In data analysis and presentation, data visualization is the process of representing information graphically, and items described as visualized data refer to results that have been converted to a visual form, such as charts or graphs. In cognitive psychology and education, visualization refers to the ability to form mental imagery, and examples of such imagery may be described as visualized scenarios or images.

In medical imaging and computer graphics, visualization tools render complex information into interpretable visuals, and the term visualized can denote outputs that have been processed to highlight features or patterns. The word is closely related to visualization, the noun form, while visualized is the verb or adjective form. Spelling variants include visualised in British English, reflecting the same root and meaning.
