Disjunctive

(jungktiv.) [From L. disjungo, I separate.] (Gram.) Designating those conjunctions which, while they unite sentences, di ociate the sense thereof; as, he is either a fool or a madman; I wis li for neither one nor the other.-(Log.) A proposition consisting of two or more categorical parts connected disjunctively and therefore stated alternately, is known as a D. proposition; as, it was day or night. AD. syllogism is one in which the major proposition is disjunctive; as, he is either rich or poor; but he is not rich, therefore he is poor. [s. 201]
