Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the French word 'déconstruction', coined by philosopher Jacques Derrida in the late 1960s based on Heidegger's concept of 'Destruktion'. It combines the English prefix 'de-' (denoting reversal or removal) with 'construction', evolving from an architectural and philosophical critique into a broader analytical method.
