🔄 actual (Spanish for 'current') + -izar (make) = make current
Spanish actual means current or present-day, not 'actual' in English. Adding -izar, a verb ending meaning to make, gives actualizar: to make something current. That covers updating software, refreshing a page, or bringing a potential into reality.
