Definition
拆伙 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning to dissolve a partnership or end a cooperative arrangement — often used for business partnerships, teams, or joint projects. The verb 拆 splits from the noun 伙 when inserting measure words, durations, or objects: 拆了伙 ('dissolved the partnership'), 拆过两次伙 ('dissolved the partnership twice'). You can also use it figuratively for any group that stops working together.
