The process or condition of becoming bald; loss of hair from the head.
From de- + calvus (Latin for bald) + -ation (action or process). The term is a medical or archaic word for baldness and hair loss.
Ancient physicians documented decalvation as a side effect of certain treatments, toxins, and diseases—modern dermatology still uses technical terms derived from this same Latin root!
