verb

  1. To unite that which does not belong together.
    “This, it may be supposed, is the original reading; this verse, just as v. 16, belongs neither to the gragment of an historical narrative, which is preserved in vv. 14f (with which modern commentators generally misunite those two verses), nor to the legend, vv. 17 ff., but to the Epitomist whose mode of representation is plainly apparent in them.”
    “The disposition of the words, syllables, and letters is much as my copy represents. Words are misunited; and words are broken apart, often, apparently, at haphazard.”
    “He can then create the ideal artistic image pictured on Plate 75, a clearly defined but infinitely expanding line of interlocking circles of open-winged angels, rather than the blurred confusion of serpent, male and female at the bottom of this plate that is the artistic product of Rahab's —or Blake's archenemy Joshua Reynolds'—disunity misunited.”
    “but what dignity could we confer on Charles, who hath not honor for his guide, who is enfeebled by lethargy, and who, finally, hath lost head so far that he hath no shame in serving a foreign king, and in misuniting himself to a woman taken from the rank of the knights his vassals?”
