personalize (third-person singular simple present personalizes, present participle personalizing, simple past and past participle personalized)

  1. To adapt something to the needs or tastes of an individual.
    • 1968, Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, 2nd edition, London: Fontana Press, published 1993, page 19:
      These "Eternal Ones of the Dream" are not to be confused with the personally modified symbolic figures that appear in nightmare and madness to the still tormented individual. Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamics of the psyche.
  2. To represent something abstract as a person; to embody.
