disjoints
Severs the connection
Disjoints means separates or disconnects things that were joined or coherent.
A crisis can disjoint an organization's operations; conflicting testimony disjoints a prosecutor's narrative.
In anatomy or butchery, to disjoint is to separate at the joints: He disjointed the chicken before roasting.
The word emphasizes breaking apart what should hold together.
