Uiteensetting

Uiteensetting is a Dutch word that translates to "setting apart" or "dismantling" in English. It is often used in a technical context to describe the process of taking something apart into its constituent components. This can apply to various fields, such as engineering, where a machine or device might be "uiteengezet" for repair or maintenance. In a more general sense, it can refer to the breakdown of a system or idea into simpler parts for better understanding.

The act of "uiteensetting" implies a deliberate and systematic separation. It's not simply breaking something, but rather disassembling it in a way that allows for reassembly or analysis of individual pieces. The purpose behind the "uiteensetting" will determine the method and care taken during the process. For example, a collector might carefully "uiteenzetten" an antique to preserve its parts, while a mechanic might quickly "uiteenzetten" a car engine to diagnose a problem. The word emphasizes the meticulous nature of separating distinct elements from a whole.
