This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'delist' meaning the act or process of removing from a list.

Etymology

The word delisting comes from the prefix de- meaning 'remove' or 'off' and the word list, which is a 'record of names or items'. So delisting means taking something off a list, for example when a company is removed from the stock exchange.
