inactivation

/ˌɪˌnæktɪˈveɪʃən/ noun

The process of rendering something inactive.

Word Origin Inactivation is the opposite of activation, with the prefix in- meaning 'not.' Activation comes from Latin activus 'active,' from agere 'to do, drive.' So inactivation is literally 'making not active.' The same root agere gives us act, action, agent, and react.
