democraticae

Democraticae is the feminine plural form of the Latin adjective democratica (democratic). The root is democr- from Greek demos (people) and kratos (power), transmitted to Latin through the term democratia. In Latin, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, so democraticae would modify feminine plural nouns and convey the sense “democratic” or “of democracy.”

In use, democraticae functions as an adjective; possible phrases include res democraticae (“democratic things”), civitas democraticae (“a democratic city/state”), or partes democraticae (“the democratic factions”). The corresponding noun for democracy is democratia, though Latin texts often express the concept with periphrasis or other forms.

Historically, democraticae appears mainly in late Latin or scholarly Latin rather than in the classical corpus, where democracy is discussed with grammatically different forms or through loanwords. In modern scholarship and digital corpora, the form may appear when quoting Latin translations of Greek political theory or when illustrating Latin grammar.

Overall, democraticae is a grammatical form rather than a standalone political term in English, used to describe democratic attributes of objects or groups in Latin texts. It is not associated with a specific political movement in itself.
