externalization
This term describes the movement of something from an internal state to an external manifestation. In psychological contexts, it often carries a negative connotation of avoidance or defense, where a person denies their own flaws by attributing them to others. In artistic or philosophical contexts, however, it is viewed as a creative act of bringing a hidden vision into the physical world.
In business and economics, the word shifts toward a systemic or financial meaning. It refers to the strategic relocation of tasks to third parties or the unethical shifting of costs, such as environmental damage, onto the public. Because it is an abstract process noun, it is typically treated as uncountable when referring to the general concept, though it can be countable when referring to specific instances of the act.
Meanings
