To remove political character, significance, or involvement from something; to make something less political or free from political influence.
From de- (reverse) + politicize (make political), from Latin politicus (relating to citizens and state). Created in 20th-century English to describe the process of removing politics from institutions.
Attempts to depoliticize things like science, education, or sports are constantly happening—but the very act of trying is itself political, which creates a paradox!
