parsed

Broke into components

Parsed is the past tense of parse, meaning to break something down into its component parts for analysis.

The term originates in grammar, where parsing a sentence means identifying its parts of speech and syntactic structure.

In computing, parsing refers to analyzing code or data to extract meaningful information: The program parsed the JSON file and returned an error.

More casually, to parse something means to examine it closely or make sense of it: I'm still parsing what she meant by that comment.
