Definition
The act of deciding not to do something that was planned, or removing or nullifying something that exists.
Etymology
From Latin 'cancellare' (to cross out with a lattice pattern), derived from 'cancelli' (cross-bars or lattice), referring to crossing out written documents.
Kelly Says
The word 'cancel' literally comes from the pattern of crossing out—when scribes would cross-hatch over errors in manuscripts, they were creating a 'lattice' (cancelli) of lines to make the text unreadable.
