Reminds me of a song by Blind Faith
“De-” from the Latin prefix to imply “out of” (among other things). Have you noticed that when the prefix is used in English, the words tend toward the ominous end of the language spectrum. Words like “detoxify”, or “decontaminate”. How about the word for today, “deconfessionalize”. I’ve just returned from a meeting that stretched on for hours, with the set purpose of trying to “demystify” the latest educational direction of our provincial government. Nothing like that happened.
