being partly or fully decayed
the condition of being rotten or decayed
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
in (a) decomposition; in a state of decomposition
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners may use decomposition as a countable noun (*a decomposition*) in this sense; it is usually uncountable.

|
putrefaction (More technical and strongly associated with dead tissue.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
freshness (The opposite condition of not being decayed.)

breaking something into smaller parts
dividing something difficult into smaller parts to study it
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
decomposition of [a problem/task/system] (into [parts])
பொதுவான தவறு:
Not used for physical damage; for physical breaking, learners often want “breakage” or “damage.”
இணைச்சொற்கள்
breakdown (More common and less formal; can also mean a failure.)
|
analysis (Focuses on studying something, not necessarily splitting it into parts.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
synthesis (Combining parts to form a whole.)

chemical breakdown into simpler substances
a reaction where one chemical becomes simpler chemicals
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
decomposition of [a compound] (into [products])
பொதுவான தவறு:
In chemistry, decomposition is a type of reaction, not just “rotting.”
இணைச்சொற்கள்
breakdown (More general; can describe chemical change without naming the reaction type.)

representing something as component parts
writing a number or matrix as simpler parts
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
decomposition of [a number/matrix] (into [components])
பொதுவான தவறு:
Often confused with “composition” in math (building a function), which is a different idea.
இணைச்சொற்கள்
factorization (Common for numbers/polynomials; one specific type of decomposition.)
|
expansion (General term for rewriting in a sum/series; not always a decomposition.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்

dividing a system into modules
splitting a system into smaller parts to build it
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
decomposition of [a system/project] into [modules/components]
பொதுவான தவறு:
In project management, “decomposition” is not the same as “deadline breakdown”; it means dividing the work into parts.
இணைச்சொற்கள்

|
partitioning (More general; can be used in systems, data, or networks.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
