Morphology
demobilization = demobilize (semi-transparent) = de + mobil + ize + ation
The noun is a regular and easily interpretable action/state formation from the verb 'demobilize'.
Etymology
Demobilization comes from de- ('remove') and mobile ('moving' or 'able to move'), the same root as the familiar word mobile. So demobilization means 'removing movement' from soldiers and equipment—taking them out of active military service and returning them to civilian life after a war.
