disection

The first sense, "cutting into exactly two pieces." I'm not finding this in common dictionaries; perhaps it's confused with bisection? Dmcdevit 23:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Probably. Looking at the edit history, I see that this was transwikied from Wikipedia, where the "two pieces" bit seems to have been a kind of etymology rather than a definition. --EncycloPetey 01:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Probably confusing bisection with dissection. bd2412 T 03:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and on the spelling as dissection. Per the 8th Ed. of the Penguin Dictionary of Biology, 1990, there's also a microdissection and definitions use dissect.--Halliburton Shill 07:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
