Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Formed in English by combining the prefix 'de-' (denoting removal, reversal, or separation) with the verb 'link' (derived from Old Norse 'hlökkr' or Middle English 'linke'). It emerged in the late 20th century, particularly gaining traction with the rise of digital technologies, hypertexts, and international finance to describe the act of disconnecting established associations.
