Word or phrase that is used to deconstruct another word

I am looking for a word for phrase for when a word (usually a noun) is broken down into "simpler" words. It might also have derogatory undertones but that is not necessary.

Example 1: Soccer is just "guys kicking a ball"

Example 2: Origami is just "folding paper nicely"

Solution 1:

You can try reductionism, defined by Merriam Webster as

A procedure or theory that reduces complex data and phenomena to simple terms.

Also see reductionism, defined by oxford dictionary online as

The practice of analyzing and describing a complex phenomenon in terms of phenomena that are held to represent a simpler or more fundamental level, especially when this is said to provide a sufficient explanation.
