Definition
涣散 describes a state of being loose, disorganized, or lacking discipline — often used for groups, organizations, or people's morale. It's a verb meaning 'to become slack' or 'to fall apart', but in practice it's more common as a stative verb or adjective-like predicate describing a condition (e.g., 纪律涣散 'discipline is lax', 人心涣散 'morale is scattered').
