Etymology of DEFORCE

The word "deforce" has its origins in Old French, specifically from the verb "déforcer". "Déforcer" is a combination of "dé-" (a prefix indicating removal or reversal) and "forcer" (meaning "to force" or "to exert power"). It originated from the Latin word "forcia", which also referred to strength or force. Over time, "deforce" entered English and retained its meaning of depriving someone of their lawful right or possession by force or illegal means.
