The action of taking something away or the business of helping people move house.
From Latin 'removere,' combining 're-' (back, away) and 'movere' (to move). The specific sense of 'house moving services' developed in British English in the 19th century.
The British term 'removals' for moving services reflects a more formal, euphemistic approach compared to the American 'moving' - it emphasizes the careful extraction rather than the transportation aspect.
