Desintegrado

The Spanish adjective 'desintegrado' translates to 'disintegrated' or 'broken down' in English. It describes something that has been separated into its constituent parts, lost cohesion, or been reduced to a state of ruin or decay. This can apply to physical objects, abstract concepts, or even social structures. 'Desintegrado' implies a loss of unity and often a decline in function or usefulness. The process leading to a 'desintegrado' state can vary, from natural processes like erosion to violent events like explosions or social upheaval.
