Talk:moval

Is this US only? I've never heard it in the UK - we just use "removal". Seems like a bit of a redundant word to me.

I assume the etymology is a backformation.

Moval is a redundant term, but more related in usage to move than remove. Move can usually be used in place of moval. Remove/removal primarily focuses on the taking away of something whereas move/moval describes a transfer.
