Etymology
Phase as a verb comes from the same root phainein meaning 'to show' or 'appear', and it links back to the noun phase. A helpful way to remember it is to think of moving things step by step so they 'appear' at the right time together, which is why to phase something is to arrange it in stages to match something else.
