DISSOCIATE Meaning and Definition

1. Dissociate is a verb that refers to the act of disconnecting, separating, or disassociating oneself or something from a particular person, group, or entity. It involves separating oneself mentally or emotionally from a situation or relationship, often to preserve one's own integrity or reputation due to disagreement, opposition, or a desire for independence.

The word "dissociate" derives from the Latin word "dissociatus", which is the past participle of "dissociare". The root of the term is formed by combining the prefix "dis-" (which means "apart" or "away") with "sociare" (which means "to join" or "to unite"). Therefore, "dissociate" originally meant "to separate" or "to disconnect" and was later adopted into English with a similar meaning.
