defrag

/dˌifɹˈæɡ/ verb

Clipping of defragment.

Word Origin Defrag is short for defragment, from de- 'undoing' and fragment, which comes from Latin frangere 'to break.' So defragging is literally 'un-breaking' — taking the broken pieces of data and putting them back together. The same root frangere gives us fracture, fraction, and frail (easily broken). The breakdown de+frag shows the reversal of fragmentation. It's a modern tech word with ancient roots.
