עֲ֠בָדַי יֹרִ֨דוּ מִן־הַלְּבָנ֜וֹן יָ֗מָּה וַ֠אֲנִי אֲשִׂימֵ֨ם דֹּבְר֤וֹת בַּיָּם֙ עַֽד־הַמָּק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־תִּשְׁלַ֥ח אֵלַ֛י וְנִפַּצְתִּ֥ים שָׁ֖ם וְאַתָּ֣ה תִשָּׂ֑א וְאַתָּה֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה אֶת־חֶפְצִ֔י לָתֵ֖ת לֶ֥חֶם בֵּיתִֽי׃
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.’
Rashi on I Kings
I will make them into rafts. They are referred to as רפסודות in Divrei Hayomim.19II Divrei Hayomim 2:15. And in German, flots, and in O.F., res. They would tie logs together and float them on the water, and sail them [in the same manner] as ships are sailed.

We will detach them there. As their binding is untied and they are brought unto dry land each log individually, is called ניפוץ. (Any whole object when it is taken apart, is called ניפוץ.) Depced, in O.F.
