Disintermediation

The sort of word SAT tutors drool over. Despite all those syllables, it means something really simple: cutting out the middleman. 

Example

You launch a business making custom candy bar covers for people who'll buy literally anything. You sell them to stores in your area. Then you decide to cut out the middleman and sell directly to the customer.
