Broken down into separate parts or smaller components; presented as individual items rather than as a combined whole.
Past participle of disaggregate. Common in modern data analysis, education policy, and social research where broken-down information is more informative than aggregated totals.
Disaggregated data revolutionized how we understand inequality—suddenly we could see that 'average test scores improved' actually masked that some groups fell further behind, which is why this term matters in policy debates.
