                                        Word of the Week. WOW: anacoluthon →. March 3, 2013. This week’s Word of the Week is: decathect. To decathect is to withdraw one’s self emotionally from something or someone in anticipation of losing it. I suppose of this would largely depend on how accurate this anticipation is. But even if it’s entirely accurate, I’m not sure if it’s entirely a good thing. And, particularly is the object is another person, it’s potentially cruel to that person to decathect one’s self from him or her. Word of the Week.
