A 'member' is any constituent part of a body, such as arms, legs and so on.

To dismember originally meant that a body (usually that of a criminal) has the arms, legs and head removed.

These parts might then be sent to different parts of a country as a warning to other criminals - or rebels.

Nowadays it usually refers to someone who has killed someone else and cut up the body to make it easier to dispose of.
