To deskill a job is to change the work so that you no longer need much skill to do it — usually by bringing in machines, software, or a rigid step-by-step system. A craft that once took years to learn can be deskilled into following a screen or pushing a button. Unions, sociologists, and people who write about work use this word when they worry that know-how is being taken out of the job. It is not kitchen-table English. Though actually, the target is the work, not the worker’s brain: a person can still be highly skilled while their job has been deskilled. The opposite worry is not that someone forgot a hobby; it is that the paid work no longer asks for judgement.
