demilitarization

/diˌmɪɫətɝəˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Alternative spelling of demilitarisation.

Word Origin Demilitarization is built from 'de-' (removal) + 'militar' (soldier) + '-ization' (process). The root 'militar' comes from Latin 'miles' meaning soldier, which also gives us 'military' and 'militarism'. So demilitarization is literally the process of removing soldiers or military presence. The same 'de-' prefix appears in 'demilitarize' and 'deconstruct'.
