POW! BAM! SPLAT! Torn apart, the parts all made into much smaller ones; the whole exploded into many. To shake the foundations from under the feet of a person that up until that time had thought he was on firm footing. KA-POW! Down he goes into defeat!

Discombobulate is the correct spelling.
It means to throw someone into a state of confusion, fluster them, make them feel like they've lost control of the situation.
Examples:
The minister was completely discombobulated when the local punk rockers walked in during his sermon and sat down.
Today's youth are always looking for ways to discombobulate the older generation.
