Segregate


Definition:

  • (a.) Separate; select.
  • (a.) Separated from others of the same kind.
  • (v. t.) To separate from others; to set apart.
  • (v. i.) To separate from a mass, and collect together about centers or along lines of fracture, as in the process of crystallization or solidification.
