The word "decongestant" means a substance that reduces congestion. A decongestant is a drug that prevents nasal congestion. Generally, they work by reducing the swelling of the mucous membranes in the nasal passages.

The prefix "de-" denotes denial or inversion of the meaning of the simple term, in this case congestion. Therefore, a decongestant means literally "something that inverses congestion".
