Melissa Clark asked:

>>What is the opposite of 'assert'? Is it 'de-assert' or 'deassert' (no
hyphen on that one)? I checked several sources...

De-assert is the currently practiced usage I observe in the technical
arenas of software, chips, analog, etc., despite the example provided
that seems to argue the opposite.
