'decommodification' originates from the prefix 'de-' meaning 'removal' and 'commodification,' which comes from 'commodity,' derived from Latin 'commoditas,' meaning 'convenience or advantage.'

'commodification' transformed from the Latin word 'commoditas' and eventually became the modern English word 'commodity,' leading to the formation of 'decommodification.'

Initially, 'commodification' meant 'making something a commodity,' but 'decommodification' evolved to mean 'removing the commodity status.'
