Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin cancellatio, from cancellare ('to lattice, to strike out with crosslines'), based on cancella ('lattice, bars'). Historically evolving from the practice of drawing cross-hatch lines over text to invalidate a document, it now broadly refers to the act of stopping or annulling a planned event, contract, or broadcast show.
