[with object]

Geology

Cause (rock) to break down into angular fragments.

brecciation

noun ˌbrɛtʃɪˈeɪʃnˌbrɛ(t)ʃiˈeɪʃən

mass noun

Geology

The process of breaking down rock into angular fragments.

Origin

Late 18th century: from Italian, literally 'gravel', ultimately of Germanic origin and related to break¹.
