Root Explanation

Discompose → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "componere" (meaning to put together). The word describes the act of putting something apart or breaking it down from its composed state.

Memory Tip

Think of something being taken 'apart' ('dis-') from its 'put together' state ('componere') — that's why discompose means to break down or disturb the arrangement.
