To 'make itself known' means to become apparent, noticeable, or recognized. It often refers to a presence or force that begins to be felt or perceived by others. For instance, a new trend might make itself known when a significant number of people start adopting it, or a person's skill might make itself known when they demonstrate it successfully. This phrase is typically used in contexts where the emergence or acknowledgment of something or someone becomes prominent or unavoidable.
