Moved out of its normal or proper place, especially when a bone is forced out of its joint.
From Latin 'dislocare,' combining 'dis-' (apart, away) and 'locare' (to place, from 'locus' meaning place). Originally a medical term that expanded to describe anything removed from its proper location.
A dislocated shoulder is particularly tricky in medicine because the shoulder joint is naturally loose—it's actually more flexible than other joints, which is why it pops out more often but also why you can throw a baseball so hard!
