When something is polarised its ends are oppositely charged. So, depolarisation is when the difference is balanced, the ends no longer have different charges.
An example of depolarisation is when the sodium voltage-gated ion channels open in the neuronal membrane to undo the polarisation of the resting membrane potential.
