disjointing
Taking apart limbs
Disjointing is separating something at its joints or connections.
A butcher disjoints a chicken by cutting it into pieces at the natural divisions.
Figuratively, disjointing breaks apart what was unified: The scandal succeeded in disjointing the coalition.
The word suggests disconnection that follows existing seams rather than arbitrary breaking.
