bring about

phraseB2Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

To bring about something is to make it happen. Bring about a change, bring about reform, what will bring about peace.

It is formal and takes an abstract object, so you bring about a change but not a cup of tea. It suggests causing rather than doing, so the agent may be distant from the result.
