  • (n.) The state of being dissolved or disintegrated; resolution; disintegration.
  • (n.) The act or process by which a body (whether solid, liquid, or gaseous) is absorbed into a liquid, and, remaining or becoming fluid, is diffused throughout the solvent; also, the product reulting from such absorption.
  • (n.) release; deliverance; discharge.
  • (n.) The termination of a disease; resolution.
  • (n.) A crisis.
