disbanded
No longer together
Disbanded describes a group that has broken up and ceased to exist as an organized unit.
Bands disband, military units disband, committees disband.
The word implies formal dissolution rather than gradual fading: The band disbanded in 1995 after creative differences.
Once disbanded, the group no longer functions collectively, though members may reunite later.
