Disacidified

/ˌdɪs.əˈsɪd.ɪ.faɪd/ adjective

Definition

Having had its acidic properties removed or reduced; neutralized of acid.

Etymology

From dis- + acidify + -ed. The root 'acid' comes from Latin acidus (sour), and -ify creates verbs meaning 'to make'; dis- reverses this chemical process.

Kelly Says

This is a chemistry term—when scientists 'disacidify' a substance, they're removing the acid that makes it sour or corrosive, which is super important in treating soil or wine.
