DISCOMMISSION Meaning and Definition

1. Discommission is a verb that refers to the act of officially withdrawing or decommissioning a person, place, or thing from active service or operation. It involves declaring something no longer in use or obsolete. When an organization, such as the military or a government agency, discommisions a facility, it means that the facility is no longer needed for its intended purpose or deemed appropriate for ongoing use and is therefore retired or taken out of service.

   The term discommission can also be used to describe the removal of an individual from a position or role. For example, a company might discommission an employee if they are no longer fit for their job or if they have violated rules and policies to an extent that termination is necessary.

   The process of discommissioning typically involves a range of activities depending on the context. These could include conducting thorough inspections, shutting down operations, transferring responsibilities and equipment to other parties, and ensuring any necessary documentation or legal steps are taken.

   Discommissioning is a deliberate process that aims to systematically phase out or retire something, often with the goal of reducing costs, improving efficiency, or meeting changing needs. The act of discommissioning can have significant implications for the affected parties, as it may involve job loss, relocation, or the loss of a familiar institution or service.

Etymology of DISCOMMISSION

The word "discommission" is a combination of the prefix "dis-" and the noun "commission".

The prefix "dis-" is derived from the Latin "dis", which means "apart" or "in different directions". It is often used to indicate negation or reversal.

The noun "commission" originated from the Latin "commissio", meaning "delegation of business". It refers to the act of granting someone the authority to perform a particular task or the assignment of a group of people to carry out a specific duty or function.

When the prefix "dis-" is attached to "commission", it negates the idea of commissioning or authorizing someone or something. Thus, "discommission" means the process of withdrawing or revoking a commission, usually in the context of decommissioning or discontinuing the use or operation of a facility, equipment, or service.
