Etymology:
The word "deforestation" is derived from the Latin prefix "de-" (meaning "away from, removal of") and the noun "forest" (Latin: fores).
Meaning:
Deforestation refers to the permanent removal of trees from a forested area, resulting in a significant reduction of the tree canopy cover.
Origin:
The term "deforestation" has been in use since the late 16th century, when it was primarily used to describe the clearing of forests for agricultural purposes. In the 18th and 19th centuries, deforestation became a major issue due to the expansion of colonial empires and the demand for timber and land for farming.
