Deci- is the root of the number 10- as in decimal. The practice of decimation was killing one in every 10 persons in a group of people as punishment for the group. If a unit of soldiers should mutiny, and refuse to carry out orders, a military ruler might order the unit decimated. This was a severe punishment that left the unit still capable of functioning (killing all of them would not, for obvious reasons)

What is difference decimation and downsampling?
Loosely speaking, "decimation" is the process of reducing the sampling rate. In practice, this usually implies lowpass-filtering a signal, then throwing away some of its samples. "Downsampling" is a more specific term which refers to just the process of throwing away samples, without the lowpass filtering operation. Throughout this FAQ, though, we'll just use the term "decimation" loosely, sometimes to mean "downsampling".
