To remove or tear away something that is lacerated (torn or mangled).
From the prefix 'de-' plus 'lacerate,' which comes from Latin 'lacerare' meaning 'to tear' or 'rend.' This is a rare medical or surgical term.
In medical history, surgeons needed words to describe removing torn tissue—'delacerate' is one of those technical terms that shows how medical language gets built from simple building blocks like 'de-' attached to 'lacerate.'
