Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin cancellatio, from cancellare (to cross out, lattice), based on canc ellos (lattice bars). The term entered Middle English via Old French in the 15th century, shifting from the physical act of drawing cross-hatch lines over a document to invalidate it, to the general termination of an arrangement or event.
