Etymology
Deprogram combines de- ('remove') and program ('a set of instructions or a plan'). Think of it like removing a program from a computer: you take away the instructions that were put into someone's mind. So, to deprogram someone is to help them stop beliefs or behaviours they learned in a cult.
