Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin cancellatio, from cancellare meaning 'to lattice or strike out', referring to the historical practice of making cross-hatch marks over text to annul it. It entered Middle English via Old French during the 15th century, shifting in meaning from the act of crossing out writing to the official annulment or calling off of an event or agreement.
