I am writing a training manual using a product manual as a source document. The source document frequently uses the term disassembly – meaning to take equipment apart. I cannot find this term in any of my reference documents and believe the antonym for assembly is disband. Can anyone confirm/deny or offer advice on this matter? 



"Disband" is an antonym for "assembly" when
you're talking about people. If you're talking
about an inanimate object that has been assembled,
I believe that "disassembly" is acceptable.
