noun

The act or an instance of separating one thing from another: detachment, disjuncture, disseverance, disseverment, disunion, division, divorce, divorcement, parting, partition, separation, severance, split. See assemble/disassemble, part/whole.

The statement that at least one of two propositions is true: it thus corresponds to ‘p or q’. Inclusive disjunction allows that both may be true; exclusive disjunction that one but not both is true. In the propositional calculus disjunction is treated as a truth-function.

The act or state of being disjoined. In genetics, the moving apart of bivalent chromosomes at the first anaphase of meiosis.
