The act of ending or withdrawing a requisition; the release of something that was previously demanded or seized by authorities.
From de- (reverse) + requisition (from Latin requisitus, demanded/required). This term emerged in military and government contexts where materials were seized and then officially released back.
During wartime, governments would requisition (seize) civilian property like cars and houses—'derequisition' was the official term for giving them back when the war ended, though not everyone got their property back.
