De-barking is a process that involves removing the bark from a tree or dog's vocal cords in order to reduce noise. It has no direct antonyms, because it is a specific action that cannot be undone or reversed. However, there are several related terms that convey the opposite meaning of de-barking. These include re-barking, which involves adding bark to a tree or reinforcing a dog's vocal cords; unmuting, which refers to restoring a silenced voice; and vocalizing or barking, which are the natural activities of trees and dogs that have not undergone the de-barking procedure. Overall, these antonyms demonstrate the value of natural communication and expression, rather than suppressing it through artificial means.
