Verb meaning "to make a list of elements unique"
I am looking for a verb that would mean to make a list of elements unique
.
For example, let's say I have a list of elements and some of them can exist more then once in the list (duplicates).
What verb can I use for the action of removing such duplicates and make my list composed of unique elements only?
Solution 1:
This is deduplication (commonly used when storing large amounts of data on servers):
Eliminate duplicate or redundant information from (something, especially computer data)
Oxford Dictionary
However, I think that “to make multiple elements unique” is something completely different!
