democratise
Make broadly available
Democratise is the British spelling of democratize.
To democratise something is to make it accessible to ordinary people, not just elites or specialists: The internet has democratised publishing.
It can also mean to introduce democratic governance: efforts to democratise the country after decades of authoritarian rule.
