+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [dɪsˈsɔ.ki.oː]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''dissociō''' (present infinitive dissociāre, perfect active dissociāvī, supine dissociātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|dis-|sociō|t2=to join, unite]],^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) from [[m|la|socius|t=companion]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*sokjo-]] and [[ine-pro|*sokʷ-(h₂)-i-o-|t=companion]].^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[sa|सखा|tr=sákhā|t=friend, companion]] and [[ang|secg|t=man, warrior]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it once each in Lucilius, Varro, Lucretius, Nepos, Horace, Ovid and other writers.^(TLL) Lucretius has it of parting the closely packed parts of a thing.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In the physical sense it is mostly poetic:^(Lewis & Short 1879) Horace has mountains that would be continuous if a shady valley did not part them, Ovid things set apart in place that the creator bound in peace, and Statius a coast cut off by the sea.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Terentianus Maurus says punctuation separates words.^(OLD 2012) In the moral sense, frequent in Cicero, it is to set at variance or dissolve ties: unlike tastes break up friendships, and speech bound together men who had lived apart.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913) Nepos has citizens divided in feeling, Seneca greed and luxury dividing mortals, and Frontinus the Roman people split by civil war.^(OLD 2012) With ''ab'' it is to separate one thing from another, as Cicero's philosophers parted from the orators and Tacitus' recruits set apart from veterans and legion from legion.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Tacitus also has people dissociating their cause from others'.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)
