The action of destroying or tearing down buildings, structures, or anything else completely.
From French 'démolition' and Latin 'demoliri,' meaning 'to tear down,' composed of 'de-' (down) and 'moliri' (to construct). The meaning has been consistent since Roman times.
Controlled building demolition is so precise that experts use tons of explosives to make buildings collapse into their own footprint—it's like reverse engineering!
