Etymology of DISINTOXICATION

The word "disintoxication" is a combination of the prefix "dis-" meaning "apart" or "away from", and the word "intoxication", which ultimately derives from the Latin verb "intoxicāre". The Latin word "intoxicāre" means "to poison" or "to drug". Over time, the term "intoxication" broadened in usage to encompass the effects of various substances, including alcohol. Thus, "disintoxication" can be understood as the process or state of recovering or being free from intoxication or the effects of intoxicating substances.
