deformalized

Stripped of ceremony

Deformalized means made less formal or stripped of formal structure.

Academic or legal procedures might be deformalized to become more accessible: The court deformalized its hearing process to put witnesses at ease.

In philosophy and logic, to deformalize is to move from symbolic notation back to natural language, or to remove rigid procedural constraints from a system.
