dequeuing
Exiting the queue
Dequeuing is removing an item from a queue—the opposite of enqueuing.
In computing, data structures process elements by dequeuing them in order: The system keeps dequeuing tasks until the job queue is empty.
The spelling varies: dequeuing, dequeueing, and dequeue-ing all appear.
