Soak your tooth in a cup of soda for long enough and it will disintegrate, or break apart from decay. The word disintegrate comes from a combination of the prefix dis- meaning "do the opposite of" and the Latin integrare meaning "to make whole." When something disintegrates, it does the opposite of become whole; it falls apart. Objects can either disintegrate over time — like a tooth soaking in a cup of soda, or instantaneously — like a building disintegrating into dust from an explosion. All forms of 'disintegrate' will appear on average once every 1466 pages. disintegrable disintegration disintegrative integral integrality integrally integrate disintegrate integrated integrating integration integrative integrator reintegrate nonintegrated unintegrated |
