Decoll

/dɪˈkoʊl/ verb

Definition

To remove or separate the collar or neckband from a garment.

Etymology

From de- (remove) + collar (from Old Norse). A textile and garment-making term used primarily in technical descriptions of tailoring.

Kelly Says

While this word exists in garment-making vocabulary, it's rarely used today because modern tailoring tends to replace whole garments rather than reconstructing them piece by piece.
