Debarration

/ˌdɛbəˈreɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act of removing a bar or obstruction; the state of being unbarred or free from obstruction.

Etymology

From de- + barration (the state of being barred), though the root barration itself is archaic. This word is essentially obsolete in modern English, surviving only in historical or specialized legal texts.

Kelly Says

Debarration is a word fossil—it belonged to a legal or administrative vocabulary several centuries ago but fell out of use as simpler terms like 'removal' or 'opening' became standard alternatives.
