  "term": "Destroke",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "To modify an engine by reducing its piston stroke, the distance the piston travels within the cylinder. This modification is accomplished by using a crankshaft with a smaller throw, which decreases the engine's displacement. Destroking is the opposite of stroking, which involves increasing the piston's travel to gain displacement.",
