demystification

/dˌimˌɪstɪfɪkˈeɪʃən/ noun C2 ✓

The removal of mystery or confusion surrounding a topic or idea.

Word Origin Built from de- 'away, down' and mystery, which comes from Greek myein 'to close (eyes or lips)' — so mystery is something hidden, closed off. Demystification is the process of opening it up, removing the secret. The -ification part is from Latin facere 'make,' so it's literally 'making the mystery go away.' Related words: mystify, mystic, and mystagogue (one who initiates into mysteries).
