Morphology
abarticulation = articulation (semi-transparent) = ab + articulation
Formed from the prefix 'ab-' (away) + 'articulation' (joint); the morphological relation is clear but the term is rare and primarily medical, so learners may not infer the precise clinical sense.
Etymology
Abarticulation comes from the parts ab- ('away') and articulation ('joint'). It names when the bones of a joint are pushed 'away' from their normal place, so the joint is dislocated.
