Word origin
From de- + accession.
Used in a sentence
“Perhaps he forgets that museums, too, have basements full of stored art, and not every piece is equally adored. The temptation must be great to “deaccession” some of it, and museums often do succumb.”
“Over the past few years, the museum has quietly begun deaccessioning—the genteel art-world euphemism for “getting rid of”—large numbers of its city artifacts.”
“The second is an unwritten rule that when a museum deaccessions a picture, the money should be used to purchase art only of the same period.”
