Etymology of DISACCUSTOM

The word "disaccustom" is a combination of the prefix "dis-" and the verb "accustom".

The prefix "dis-" is derived from the Latin prefix "dis-" or "dīs-" meaning "apart", "apiece", "in different directions", or "not". In this case, it implies negation or reversal.

The verb "accustom" comes from the Old French verb "acostumer" or "acostrumer", which is a combination of the prefix "a-" (meaning "to" or "toward") and the outdated word "costume" (meaning "custom" or "habit"). "Accustom" originally meant to habituate oneself to something or to make something customary or familiar.

Thus, "disaccustom" evolved to mean the act of making oneself or someone else unaccustomed to something or to break a habit or custom.
