1. Demob, short for demobilization, is a term primarily used in military contexts to refer to the process of returning soldiers or military personnel to civilian life or discharging them from active duty. It encompasses various administrative procedures and logistical arrangements aimed at the efficient and organized transition from military service to civilian routines and responsibilities.

Etymology of DEMOB

The word "demob" is a shortened form of the word "demobilization", which refers to the process of discharging members of the military or returning them to civilian status after their service. The term originated in the early 20th century, particularly during and after World War I and World War II. It came into use as a colloquialism in the UK, primarily among soldiers, who used "demob" to refer to their demobilization and the events and experiences associated with it.

The word "demob" itself is formed by truncating the last syllable of "demobilization". This type of abbreviation or clipping is a common linguistic process, used to create more concise and informal words. It is similar to how "demo" is a shortened form of "demonstration" or "autobio" is for "autobiography".
