Morphology

delist = list (transparent) = de + list

The meaning is a regular reversal/removal reading of 'de-' applied to 'list': to remove something from a list.

Etymology

Delist comes from the prefix de- 'remove' and the word list 'a set of names or items'. A helpful way to remember it is like delete: de- removes something, so to delist is to take a company, product, or content off a list or platform.
