The prefix is "de-", which essentially means the same as "un-".

Compose is the root word, meaning "to put together." So decompose means "to take apart."

The suffix "-ition" creates the noun form of the verb, making the meaning "the act, process, or state of taking something apart into its constituent parts or elements."
