The compression can be done in software, but the decompression must be able to keep up with the processor requirements.

Morphology
decompression = compression (transparent) = de + compress + ion
The prefix 'de-' straightforwardly marks reversal of 'compression', giving the process of undoing data compression.
Etymology
Decompression comes from the parts de- ('undo') and compress ('press together'), so for computer files it is like 'un-pressing' data to bring it back to its original form.
