disenrollment singular

Morphology

disenrollment = disenroll (transparent) = dis + enroll + ment

The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'disenroll' with '-ment' to mean the act or process of disenrolling.

Etymology

The word disenrollment comes from the prefix dis- meaning 'not' or 'remove' and enroll, which is to put someone's name on a roll or list. So disenrollment is the act of being taken off that list — leaving or being removed from a program or group.
