disintoxication

/dˌɪsɪntˌɑksɪkˈeɪʃən/ noun

The process of disintoxicating.

Word Origin Disintoxication is the reversal of intoxication, and both trace back to Greek toxikon 'arrow poison' — literally, poison for arrows. The root toxon meant 'bow,' so toxic substances were originally things you put on arrows. That's why we have detox, antitoxin, and toxicology, all from the idea of poisoned arrows.
