enact
An enactment is like bringing a plan or idea into reality, making it happen. This can be as simple as creating a new rule at school to a big change in government law.
When we talk about enacting something, usually we're thinking of laws, rules, or plans that need to be carried out. Imagine your school wants to start recycling programs, so they enact a new policy where students and staff collect cans and bottles for cash. Or, in politics, a president might enact a new law to help the environment by setting limits on pollution. It's like taking an idea from paper and making it real-life action.
