Definition
To relieve stress or tension; to reduce stress levels in oneself or in materials.
Etymology
From the prefix 'de-' (to remove or reverse) plus 'stress,' a modern coinage likely from the late 20th century, emerging alongside psychological and wellness vocabulary.
Kelly Says
The verb 'destress' is remarkably modern, gaining popularity only in the 1980s-90s as stress became a medical and cultural concern—it shows how language adapts to name new practices and concepts we care about.
