Etymology

Recorded since c. 1374 (displacing Old English toliesan) as Middle English dissolven, from Latin dissolvere (“to loosen up, break apart”) but with the sense from Anglo-Norman dissoldre (variant of Old French dissoudre), itself from dis- (“apart”) + solvere (“to loose, loosen”). By surface analysis, dis- + solve.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To separate into competent parts; to disorganize; to break up; hence, to bring to an end by separating the parts, sundering a relation, etc.; to terminate; to destroy; to deprive of force; as, to dissolve a partnership; to dissolve Parliament.
  2. verb To break the continuity of; to disconnect; to disunite; to sunder; to loosen; to undo; to separate.
  3. verb To waste away; to be dissipated; to be decomposed or broken up.
  4. verb To become fluid; to be melted; to be liquefied.

Etymology [L. dissolvere, dissolutum; dis- + solvere to loose, free. See Solve, and cf. Dissolute.]
