Root Explanation

Dissociability → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "sociabilis" (from Latin, meaning sociable or able to associate). The word describes the quality of being able to be separated or not associated with others.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'apart' ('dis-') from being 'sociable' ('sociabilis') — that's why dissociability means the ability to be separated from social connections.
