   Disabuse \Dis`a*buse"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Disabused}; p. pr.
      & vb. n. {Disabusing}.] [Pref. dis- + abuse; cf. F.
      d[82]sabuser.]
      To set free from mistakes; to undeceive; to disengage from
      fallacy or deception; to set right.
  
               To undeceive and disabuse the people.      --South.
  
               If men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse
               themselves or artifice, hypocrisy, and superstition,
               they will consider this event as an era in their
               history.                                                --J. Adams.
