Discontinued

/ˌdɪskənˈtɪnjuːd/ adjective

Definition

No longer produced, provided, or available; stopped or ceased.

Etymology

From dis- (indicating reversal) plus continue (from Latin continuus meaning 'uninterrupted') plus -ed. The business sense of stopping production developed in the 19th century alongside industrial manufacturing.

Kelly Says

The word 'discontinued' carries a peculiar finality in consumer culture - it transforms objects from available commodities into nostalgic relics instantly. There's an entire psychology around discontinued products, where scarcity created by cessation often increases desirability and value.
