( The magical uses of biological waste... )
diriment: / DIR – eh – ment / adj. Latin. making absolutely void; nullifying.
This is predominantly an ecclesiastical term, and refers to an impediment to marriage, which totally invalidates the marriage. I took a bit of license with it. Its Latin root is "dirimēns" which means "separating," and is related to "dirimere" which means "to part." It's becoming uncommon to see it specifically in this setting, and has taken more of a general usage. Not that that usage is particularly common, which is why it's perfect for this forum, right?
