Degiri

    Keywords: Go term

Degiri means 'push through/out and then cut'.

[Diagram]

push through and cut

The term "degiri" is useful because it helps regard this short sequence of B1 and B3 as a unit.

Sometimes B1 is called "cut", which is inaccurate because White can still connect her stones. In other words, although B1 is a disconnection it is not at a cutting point.
