Morphology
denervation = denervate (semi-transparent) = de + nerve + ate + ion
The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'denervate' with '-ion', meaning the process or result of denervating.
Etymology
Denervation breaks into de- 'remove' and nerve, so think 'removing the nerve'. So, denervation means the loss or removal of the nerve supply to a part of the body.
