Made electrically neutral

Depolarised is the British spelling of depolarized.

Something depolarised has had its polarity reduced or eliminated.

In physics, depolarised light has lost its uniform wave orientation.

In biology, a depolarised cell membrane has undergone a change in electrical charge—crucial in nerve impulse transmission.

Figuratively, a depolarised debate or society has moved away from sharply divided opposing camps: The negotiations depolarised the conflict.
