DEMOCRATISE Meaning and Definition

1. Democratise refers to the process of making something more accessible, participatory, fair, or equal, particularly within a political or social context. Originating from the term "democracy," it encompasses the idea of extending democratic principles and opportunities to a wider range of individuals or groups.

   In a political sense, to democratise means to promote or establish democratic institutions, systems, or practices. This entails involving citizens in decision-making, ensuring their representation, and protecting their rights and freedoms. Democratise also implies the expansion of political participation, empowering marginalized communities, and reducing inequalities in access to resources and opportunities.

   In a social context, democratise can be applied to various aspects of society such as education, technology, wealth, or culture. It involves breaking down barriers, structures, and systems that perpetuate exclusivity, elitism, or discrimination, and opening them up to a more diverse and inclusive population. Democratise thus seeks to provide equal access, opportunity, or ownership to all individuals regardless of their socio-economic background, race, gender, or other characteristics.

   Overall, the concept of democratise encapsulates the idea of promoting equality, fairness, and inclusivity, and aims to reshape systems and structures to ensure broader participation and representation for everyone within a democratic society.

Etymology of DEMOCRATISE

The word "democratise" derives from the noun "democracy", which comes from the Greek word "dēmokratía". "Dēmokratía" is a combination of two Greek words: "dêmos" meaning "people" and "kratos" meaning "power" or "rule". In Greek, "dēmokratía" means "rule by the people" or "power of the people". The -ize suffix was then added to "democracy" to create the verb "democratise", meaning to make something more democratic or bring democratic principles or processes to a particular area, institution, or system.
