'democratize' originates from the Greek word 'dēmokratia,' where 'dēmos' meant 'people' and 'kratos' meant 'power' or 'rule.'

'dēmokratia' transformed into the French word 'démocratiser,' and eventually became the modern English word 'democratize.'

Initially, it meant 'to rule by the people,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'making something accessible to everyone.'
