The process or state of removing rations, especially food rations provided by government or military supply.
From 'de-' (meaning 'remove') + 'ration' (meaning a fixed daily portion). Emerged during World War II military and civilian supply terminology.
Deration' is what happened when WWII ended—governments slowly stopped rationing bread, butter, and meat, and regular people had to adjust to buying food without ration stamps for the first time in years.
