Root Explanation

Delisting → It is formed from "de-" (meaning removal or reversal) and "listing" (from the verb "list", meaning to make a list or register). The word "delisting" refers to the act of removing something from a list or register, particularly in a financial context where a company's stock is removed from a stock exchange.

Memory Tip

Think of 'removal' ('de-') of something from a 'list' — that's why delisting means taking something off a list.
