To break off or dissolve a communal relationship; to separate from a community or communion.
From dis- + commune (from Latin communis, 'shared'). This word suggests ending a shared state or relationship, particularly a spiritual or communal bond.
In religious and spiritual contexts, 'discommune' carries weight—it means cutting ties with your community in a formal way. It's rarer than 'excommunicate' but has this solemn, final quality to it.
