The word "removal" combines the verb "remove," derived from Latin removēre (re- "back" + movēre "to move"), with the noun-forming suffix "-al" (from Latin -alis). The term originally meant "to move back or away," evolving into its modern sense of taking away or dismissing. The suffix "-al" systematically converts verbs into nouns denoting actions (e.g., "approval," "denial").
