Etymology

de- +‎ risk

Verb

derisk (third-person singular simple present derisks, present participle derisking, simple past and past participle derisked)

  1. (transitive) To remove the risk from; to make safe.
    • 2011, Edward Farquharson, Clemencia Torres de Mästle, E. R. Yescombe, How to Engage with the Private Sector in Public-Private Partnerships in Emerging Markets (page 3)
      Thus, rather than paying for the perceptions (no doubt valid) of higher risk, the challenge is to derisk the situation.
