demagnetization

/dᵻmˌæɡnɪɾᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The process of removing the magnetic field from an object.

Word Origin Magnet comes from Magnesia, a region in ancient Greece where lodestones were found — naturally magnetic rocks. So demagnetization is literally 'removing the Magnesia property.' The word magnet itself is a place name turned into a scientific term. Related words like magnetic, magnetism, and electromagnet all trace back to that Greek region.
