==Origin==
[[Latin]] ''dissolūtiōn''-em, n. of [[action]] from ''dissolvĕre'' to break up, dissolve
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_century 14th Century]
==Definitions==
*1: the [[act]] or [[process]] of dissolving: as a : [[separation]] into component [[parts]]
:b (1) : decay, disintegration (2) : [[death]]
:c : termination or destruction by breaking down, disrupting, or dispersing <the dissolution of the [[republic]]>
:d : the dissolving of an assembly or [[organization]]
:e : liquefaction
*2: a dissolute [[act]] or [[practice]]
==Description==
*In [[law]], '''dissolution''' has multiple [[meanings]].
Dissolution is the last [[stage]] of liquidation, the [[process]] by which a company (or part of a company) is brought to an end, and the [[assets]] and [[property]] of the company redistributed.
Dissolution may also refer to the termination of a [[contract]] or other legal [[relationship]]; for example, the dissolution of a [[marriage]], or [[divorce]].
Dissolution is also the term for the [[legal]] [[process]] by which an [[adoption]] is reversed. While this applies to the vast [[majority]] of adoptions which are terminated, they are more commonly referred to as disruptions, even though that term technically applies only to those that are not legally complete at the time of termination.
In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_law international law], dissolution is when a [[state]] has broken up into several [[entities]], and no longer has [[power]] over those [[entities]], as it used to have previously. An example of this is the case of the former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR USSR] dissolving into [[different]] [[republic]]s.
*In [[chemistry]], dissolution is the [[process]] by which a [[solid]] or [[liquid]] forms a solution in a solvent. In solids this can be explained as the breakdown of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure crystal lattice] into individual ions, [[atoms]] or [[molecules]] and their [[transport]] into the solvent. Dissolution testing is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for optimization of formulation and quality control.
