Deprint

/diːˈprɪnt/ verb

Definition

To remove or erase a print or printed mark from something (rare).

Etymology

From de- (remove) + print. Follows standard English pattern of using 'de-' prefix to reverse or undo an action.

Kelly Says

Deprint is so rare that it barely exists in English—there's no common word for 'to remove a print,' which is why we use awkward phrases like 'remove printing' or 'strip the print off.'
