I read an article about the disunion in the country lately.

Yeah, it’s sad to see so much division happening.

Root Explanation

Disunion → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "union" (from Latin "unio", meaning oneness or unity). The word "disunion" means the state of being apart or the breaking of unity.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'apart' ('dis-') from a state of 'oneness' ('union') — that's what disunion means.
