Denumberment

/diːˈnʌmbərmənt/ noun

Definition

The act or process of removing a number or numerical designation from something (extremely rare).

Etymology

From de- (remove) + number + -ment (action or result). A theoretical word formation that is virtually unused in modern English.

Kelly Says

This word is so rare that most dictionaries don't include it—it would theoretically mean removing a number, but English speakers simply say 'remove the number' instead of inventing this complex term.
