Definition
To remove someone from a position of authority or power; to dethrone or depose, especially in the context of West African kingship.
Etymology
From 'de-' (to remove) plus 'stool,' where 'stool' refers to a ceremonial throne or seat of authority in West African (particularly Akan) cultures. The term reflects historical practices of removing rulers.
Kelly Says
This word shows how English borrows and adapts terms from other cultures—'destooling' is still actively used in Ghana and other West African nations to describe the removal of chiefs and kings through formal ceremonial processes.
