DEMATERIALISE Meaning and Definition

1. Dematerialise is a verb that refers to the process of converting a physical or tangible object into a form that no longer has material substance or physicality. It is often used metaphorically to describe the disappearance or transformation of something tangible into an intangible state or form.

   In a literal sense, dematerialise can be seen in the context of technology and digitalisation where physical objects or products, such as books, music albums, or photographs, are converted into digital files or formats, allowing them to be accessed and distributed electronically without the need for physical presence. This process involves the elimination of the physical medium on which the object was originally stored, and a transfer into a digital or virtual space.

   Metaphorically, dematerialise can describe the vanishing or disappearance of an idea, concept, or belief. It implies the transformation of something concrete or substantial into something abstract or intangible. For example, when an outdated or archaic ideology loses its relevance and popularity over time, it can be said that it has dematerialised as it no longer holds a physical or tangible presence in society.

   Additionally, dematerialise can also describe the disappearance or dissolution of financial assets or investments. In this context, it refers to the conversion of physical securities, such as stocks or bonds, into electronic or digital entries in a database, removing the need for paper certificates.

   Overall, the term dematerialise encompasses the notion of converting physical entities or ideas into intangible or non-physical forms, either through technological advancements, evolution, or changes in perception and representation.

Etymology of DEMATERIALISE

The word "dematerialise" is derived from the combination of two root words: "de-" and "materialise".

The prefix "de-" in English is often used to indicate negation, removal, or reversal. It is derived from the Latin prefix "de-" which has similar meanings. In this case, "de-" signifies the opposite or undoing of the action described by the base word.

The base word "materialise" comes from the noun "material" and the suffix "-ise" (alternate spelling of "-ize"). "Material" refers to physical substances or matter. The suffix "-ise" is used to form verbs from nouns or adjectives, indicating the process or action associated with the base word.

Therefore, "dematerialise" has the meaning of undoing or removing the physical or material form of something.
