Etymology of DECAPITALISE
The word "decapitalise" is derived from the combination of the prefix "de-" and the word "capitalise".
The prefix "de-" is derived from the Latin prefix "de-", which can indicate negation, removal, or reversal. In this case, it negates or reverses the action of the word it is attached to.
The word "capitalise" comes from the Latin word "capitālis", which means "pertaining to the head". Originally, "capitalise" referred to writing or printing a word or sentence with the initial letter in uppercase, or capital letters. However, in the context of "decapitalise", the word has taken on a metaphorical meaning.
"Decapitalise" means to remove or reduce the capitalization of a word, sentence, or text.
