Etymology
1. 1579, from M.Fr. desmanteler "to tear down the walls of a fortress," lit. "strip of a cloak," from des- "off, away" + manteler "to cloak" (see mantle).
2. From Middle French desmanteler, itself from des- (“dis-”), mantel (“coat”) + -er (verbal suffix). By surface analysis, dis- + mantle.
3. Compare typologically uncloak, reveal, unmask.
