If you look in a dictionary you will see a lot of big words and concepts when you look up the word theory. In lay terms a theory is an "educated guess" about a idea or issue or science concept.
Example: The Darwin Theory. He "guessed" that we "evolved" from the amoeba all the way up to the humanity we have now. He said it was only a theory and it was an unproven one despite the people who came to believe it was a fact.
Theories are ideas that have to be disproven or proven using scientific methods or educated methods.

Evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection is what you are trying to talk about. When someone says " evolution is just a theory " they are using the vulgar, common sense of the word theory. They mean guess, hunch and the like. The theory of evolution by natural selection is in the scientific sense of the word theory, which means a body of explanatory work supported by myriad lines of converging evidence that has been tested rigouusly and replicated often. Any good dictionary uses this scientific meaning of theory as the primary meaning of the word.
"de" is not a root word. It is a prefix meaning "to undo" To debunk a theory is to undo it, to prove it false.
The word "theory" is used differently by scientists than by the general public. The general public means "theory" as a proposed explanation for something which is not proven and which is possibly spurious; scientists may mean "theory" in that way, but may also mean "theory" as a hypothesis that has been tested multiple times and has been validated each time. Also leukocytes which mean white blood cells.
As with most words, there can be more than one definition for the word, depending on how the word is used. So, the word 'theory' can have different meanings whether it is used as a science word or in every day speech.
Theoretical is commonly a theory based instead of practical consideration. The word theoretical came from the Greek word 'theoretikos' which means 'observable'.
The definition of the word paradigms can be, a generic pattern that serves as the basis for something such as a theory. It can also mean a typical or generic example.
People assume that because they are the same word, that they mean the same thing in both contexts - which is not an unfair assumption to someone who is outside the scientific community.
