Is mantle the opposite of dismantle?
I'm curious about a linguistic point here. Could you please clarify if 'mantle' is indeed the opposite of 'dismantle'? I've been thinking about this for quite some time and I'm still not quite sure. As I understand, 'dismantle' means to take apart or to break down something into its component parts. So, would 'mantle' then refer to the process of putting something together or constructing it? Or is there another meaning that I'm missing here? I'd really appreciate your insights on this matter.
