Etymology of DISRAY

The word "disarray" originates from the combination of the prefix "dis-" and the noun "array".

The noun "array" has multiple meanings, but its original sense refers to the act of arranging things in a particular order, usually in a military context. This stems from the Old French word "areer" meaning "to put in order" or "to arrange".

The prefix "dis-" is derived from the Latin prefix "dis-" or "di-", which usually connotes negation, separation, or reversal. In the case of "disarray", it adds the notion of something that is lacking order, disrupted, or in a state of confusion.

Therefore, combining "dis-" with "array" gives us "disarray", meaning a state of disorder, confusion, or lack of organization.
