Morphology

deacidification = acidification (semi-transparent) = de + acid + ification

Given the base word 'acidification', the prefix 'de-' clearly indicates reversal, removal, or reduction of acidity.

Etymology

Deacidification comes from de- ('reduce'), acid ('sour'), and -ification ('making'), so it means 'making a liquid less acidic'. That is why deacidification is used to take the sharp or tart taste out of wine or juice.
