Root Explanation

Demystification → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down from or away) and "mystify" (from Greek "mystikos", meaning secret or hidden) and the suffix "-cation" (meaning the action or process of). The word refers to the process of removing the mystery or making something less secretive or hidden.

Memory Tip

Think of 'removing' ('de-') the 'secrets' ('mystify') to understand something better — that's what demystification means.
