vernacularized
Rendered in everyday
Vernacularized means made vernacular—adapted into the common language of ordinary people.
Technical, foreign, or formal terms become vernacularized when they enter everyday speech: Medical jargon like "DNA" has been thoroughly vernacularized.
The word can also describe translating religious or scholarly texts from Latin or other prestige languages into local tongues.
