Meaning of "dearticulate" in English

"Dearticulate" generally refers to the act of disjointing or separating parts, often used in anatomical or mechanical contexts. It involves breaking down a complex structure into its individual components. In a figurative sense, it can also mean the process of making speech or ideas unclear or incoherent. The term is not commonly used in day-to-day language but may be encountered in specialized fields that focus on the analysis or breakdown of interconnected parts.
