'disarrange' originates from the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'apart' and the word 'arrange' from Old French 'arranger', where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'ranger' meant 'to rank or set in order'.

'arranger' transformed into the English word 'arrange', and with the addition of the prefix 'dis-', it became 'disarrange'.

Initially, it meant 'to set apart from order', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
