Definition
公开化 means 'to make something public' or 'to bring something into the open'. It's a verb formed from the adjective 公开 (public) plus the suffix 化 (-ize/-ify), which turns adjectives into verbs meaning 'to make/become X'. This word is used in formal or journalistic contexts — for example, when a conflict, a process, or information that was once hidden or internal is deliberately made known to the public.
