The process or condition of a joint becoming separated, dislocated, or disconnected from its normal position or function.
From Latin 'ab-' (away) + 'articulatio' (jointing), forming a noun describing abnormal joint separation, used in medical and anatomical terminology.
This is a formal way to describe something that happens in violent injuries or certain medical conditions—the word itself takes you through the process: 'away-from-joint-ing'!
