Definition
Present participle of dismantle; taking apart or demolishing systematically.
Etymology
From French démanteler 'to remove fortifications,' from dés- 'remove' + mantel 'cloak, fortification.' Originally military, referring to destroying defensive walls, later generalized to any systematic taking apart.
Kelly Says
The word 'dismantle' originally meant stripping away a fortress's protective 'mantle' or cloak of walls - a vivid metaphor that still resonates when we talk about dismantling arguments, systems, or barriers today.
