dematerialization

/dᵻmətˌɪɹiəlᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act or process of dematerializing, or becoming immaterial.

Word Origin 'Dematerialization' is the process of undoing material form, from 'de-' (reversal) and 'material' from Latin 'materia' (matter, substance, originally wood). The root 'materia' is related to 'mother' (mater) because wood is the source, the mother of construction. So dematerialization is literally un-mothering something, taking away its substance. The same root gives us material, immaterial, and materialism.
