Spell check Depower

Silly thread I know. I the three years I've seen it spelled a few different ways. Spell check always red lines it so thought to humor myself and ask. Is it Depower, D-power, De-power, Dpower. Thoughts??? :saint:

Depower....

Like a lot of kite related terminology, there is carryover from sailing:

verb
[with object] Sailing

Definition: adjust or alter (a sail) so that the wind no longer fills it: you need to depower the mainsail
