democratize = democratic (transparent) = democrat + ize
Same productive formation as sense 1; the extension to making information/technology widely accessible is a metaphorical extension but follows the transparent 'make + democratic' pattern.
Etymology
Democratize can also mean 'make available to many people', and a helpful way to remember this is the root demo- ('people'). So to democratize technology, information, or services is to remove limits so everyone, not just experts or the rich, can use them.
