Behind the scenes
- Although the incantation is not revealed in the books, it appears in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
- The Wizard in the Wizard and the Hopping Pot may have used this spell to try to force the pot out of the house.
- Although this spell is learned by Hogwarts students in their fourth year, in the video game adaption of Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were able to use it.
Etymology
From the Latin “depulsio”, meaning “driving away”. Also is similar to repulse meaning "drive away with force". It could also be seen to be derived from the English word pulse (as in a pulse of energy.) and the prefix "de" which would make it mean "a negative pulse of energy."
