+ It means to separate, part or isolate, as Cicero writes that a clause may either be joined to a decree of the senate or separated from it and written out by itself.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It also means to exclude or dissociate, as Cicero's son writes that jesting is not excluded from study and daily discussion.^(OLD 2012) A further sense is to separate mentally, distinguish: Cicero speaks of a wisdom in doing and speaking that cannot be separated.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short compare ''[[abiungo|alt=abiungō]]'' and ''[[disiungo|alt=disiungō]]''.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Church Latin glosses it to disjoin, sever, separate.^(Stelten 1995)
