DISSOLVES Meaning and
Definition
-
The verb "dissolves" refers to the process of causing a solid substance to become incorporated or dispersed within a liquid, resulting in its complete disappearance and the formation of a homogeneous mixture. It involves breaking down the solid particles into individual ions or molecules, allowing them to interact and mix with the liquid on a microscopic level. This process is typically facilitated by the attractive forces between the solute (solid) and the solvent (liquid), which overcome the intermolecular forces within the solute to separate and disperse its particles.
The dissolution process can occur in various areas of study including chemistry, pharmacology, and biology. It is commonly observed in everyday activities such as dissolving sugar in water or salt in soup. The rate of dissolution is influenced by factors like temperature, pressure, agitation, and the characteristics of the substances involved (such as solubility and particle size). When a solid substance dissolves, it forms a solution, which is a uniform mixture throughout.
Furthermore, the term "dissolves" can also be used metaphorically in a non-chemical sense to describe the breakdown or disappearance of a relationship, organization, or problem. In this context, it refers to the disintegration, resolution, or dispersal of the entity or situation in question. This figurative use implies the gradual or sudden breakdown of unity or coherence, leading to a state of dissolution or disappearance.

Etymology of DISSOLVES
The word dissolves originates from the Latin word dissolvere, which is a combination of the prefix dis- meaning apart or away, and the verb solvere meaning to loosen or to solve. The verb dissolvere was initially used in Latin to refer to the breaking up or loosening of something, both in the physical and metaphorical senses. Over time, it evolved to specifically describe the process of something dissolving or disappearing, particularly when referring to substances mixing with liquids and disappearing into them. This Latin term was later adopted into Middle English and transformed into the word dissolve, which has since been adapted to its present participle form dissolves.
