Common Misspellings for DECONTROL

Etymology of DECONTROL

The word "decontrol" is derived from the combination of the prefix "de-" which means "opposite" or "reverse", and the main word "control".

The noun "control" originated from the early 15th century Middle English word "countrollen" or "controulen", which derived from the Old French word "contreroller" meaning "to check, verify". This Old French term was a combination of the prefix "contre-" (meaning "against" or "opposite") and the word "roller" (meaning "roll" or "register").

The prefix "de-" in English usually signifies "reversal" or "removal", thus when added to "control", it forms "decontrol", meaning the opposite or removal of control. It is typically used to describe the process of removing government regulations or restrictions from a particular industry or aspect of society.
