DISINTEGRATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Disintegrate is a verb that refers to the process of breaking down or falling apart into smaller components or fragments. It can also describe the deterioration or destruction of something, whether tangible or abstract.

    In the physical sense, disintegrate implies the disassembly or decomposition of an object or substance. For example, when a solid material disintegrates, it crumbles or breaks apart into smaller pieces without maintaining its structural integrity. Similarly, disintegration can occur with liquids or gases, where they break down into smaller particles or separate into different elements.

    In a metaphorical context, disintegrate can be used to describe the collapse or breakdown of systems, organizations, or relationships. When such entities disintegrate, they lose coherence, unity, or functionality. This can occur due to various factors such as internal conflicts, external pressures, or natural forces. Disintegration can involve the loss of control, fragmentation of principles or values, or the eradication of established structures.

    Overall, the term "disintegrate" encompasses the idea of disassembly, decomposition, or collapse. It conveys the notion of fragmentation, whether it be the physical breakdown of a substance or the deterioration of a system or relationship.

  2. To separate a whole body or substance by a gradual breaking into parts, as by the action of the atmosphere.

Etymology of DISINTEGRATE

The word "disintegrate" derives from the Latin word "disintegratus", which is the past participle of the verb "disintegrare". The Latin term is formed by combining the prefix "dis-" (meaning "apart" or "in different directions") with the verb "integrare" (meaning "to make whole" or "to renew"). Ultimately, "integrare" is derived from the Latin word "integer", meaning "whole" or "complete". Therefore, "disintegrate" originally meant to break apart or fragment something that was once whole or complete.
