Verb: to remove the husk, carapace, shell, envelope from something 2. Verbe figuré (I don’t know if there is an English equivalent to this) It means “figure of speech verb”: to make a complete examination, or minute analysis, of it. 3. Verb: to remove the cerebral cortex from a lab animal. So your decorticated spice falls neatly into this category.
