democratised
Opened to all
Democratised is the British spelling of democratized—the past tense of democratise.
To democratise something is to make it accessible to ordinary people, not just elites or specialists: The internet has democratised publishing.
The word often describes removing barriers to participation, whether in politics, education, technology, or culture.
