Having the quality of pulling apart or tearing away; tending to separate or divide by force.
From Latin 'divellens', present participle of 'divellere' (to tear apart), from 'di-' (apart) + 'vellere' (to pull or tear).
Medical texts use 'divellent' to describe surgical techniques that separate tissues—it's a precise word for what could just be called 'pulling apart,' but scientists need accuracy.
