Decentralized

/diːˈsɛntɹəlaɪzd/

विकेंद्रीकृत

Origin & History

From the verb decentralize (de- ‘remove/reverse’ + centralize), used to mean making something less controlled from a single center; adjective/past participle form decentralized became common in administrative and political contexts.

यह decentralize क्रिया से बना है (de- ‘हटाना/उलटना’ + centralize), जिसका अर्थ किसी चीज़ को एक ही केंद्र से नियंत्रित होने के बजाय अनेक केंद्रों/इकाइयों में बाँटना है; इसका विशेषण/भूतकालिक रूप ‘decentralized’ प्रशासनिक और राजनीतिक संदर्भों में प्रचलित हुआ।

Definition

Decentralized describes a system, organization, or process in which power, control, decision-making, or resources are spread out among many people/places instead of being held by one central authority.
