Dismasts

/dɪsˈmæsts/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of dismast; he, she, or it removes the masts from a ship.

Etymology

The regular present-tense conjugation of 'dismast' following standard English verb patterns.

Kelly Says

In modern maritime literature, when a hurricane or accident 'dismasts' a vessel, it's still described with this centuries-old verb. The term persists because sailing fundamentally hasn't changed—masts are still the soul of a sailing ship.
