All good suggestions but none are what I'm looking for. It's a word (which to be fair may not actually exist, my brain sometimes like to play games with me) that means to make things more relevant and specific to the group/individual concerned.
It's bad enough that I forget words but it's really not helped by the fact that I'm really bad at trying to explain what I'm looking for.
It can be, although you'd probably give it a plural object. Someone could correlate us as old pedants, f'rinstance.
Correlate \Cor`re*late"\, v. t. To put in relation with each other; to connect together by the disclosure of a mutual relation; as, to correlate natural phenomena. --Darwin. [1913 Webster]
That hasn't helped (although thank you for the link, I shall definitely be making use of that in the future) leading me to suspect that either a) the word doesn't exist; or b) it does not mean what I think it means.

This is likely to bug me for weeks. I lost the word derivative a while ago and it was nagging at me for ages until rosamicula used it on her journal.
