Etymology of DISFROCK

The word "disfrock" dates back to the mid-19th century. It is derived from two separate words: "dis-" and "frock".

The prefix "dis-" is of Latin origin and means "apart" or "away". It is commonly used to indicate negation or reversal.

The word "frock" originated from Old French "froc" and originally referred to a monk's habit or frock-like garment worn by clerics. Over time, it evolved to represent the outer garment worn by individuals in various professions.

Therefore, when combined, "disfrock" literally means to remove or take away the frock or clerical attire. It is typically used figuratively to describe the act of defrocking a member of the clergy, stripping them of their ecclesiastical status, or removing someone from office or position of authority.
