universalises

Extends to all

Universalises is the British spelling of universalizes—to make something universal or applicable to all.

A theory universalises when it extends a specific observation to a general principle: The study universalises findings from a single population to all humans.

The word often carries skepticism about whether such broad application is warranted.
