disembodying
Stripping away flesh
Disembodying is separating something from its physical form or body.
The word applies literally to souls or spirits leaving flesh, and figuratively to ideas or voices detached from their sources: The recording had a disembodying effect, as if the singer existed nowhere.
In philosophy and technology, disembodying describes removing consciousness or experience from bodily context.
