unbundle
Divide into components
To unbundle is to separate things that were packaged or sold together.
Cable companies bundle channels; consumers want to unbundle them and pay only for what they watch.
Software companies unbundle features into separate products.
In business and policy contexts, unbundling often means breaking apart services or components that were previously offered only as a package: Airlines unbundled baggage fees from ticket prices.
