<p>My simplest understanding is, it's a process where data is removed from the blockchain so other data will have more space within the blockchain.</p><p>The data that is removed and made separate is the transaction data, hence the reason the witnesses nodes are considered "separate" or "segregated". I hope this makes sense somewhat. </p>
