Definition of deselect

deselectverb

bỏ chọn

/ˌdiːsɪˈlekt//ˌdiːsɪˈlekt/

The word "deselect" has its roots in the 16th century. It comes from the combination of "de-" (meaning "to take away" or "undo") and "select" (meaning "to choose carefully"). Initially, the verb "to deselect" meant "to undo or cancel a previous selection" or "to exclude or remove something from a selected group". In the early 19th century, the term gained popularity in politics and voting, where it referred to the act of withdrawing or revoking a vote or candidacy. Later, in the mid-20th century, the term expanded to other fields such as computing, finance, and business, where it referred to the act of removing or excluding an option, choice, or candidate from a selection or list. Today, the word "deselect" is commonly used in various contexts, including programming languages, project management, and everyday conversations.
