'discoordinate' originates from the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'apart' or 'away' and the word 'coordinate' from Latin 'coordinare', where 'co-' meant 'together' and 'ordinare' meant 'to arrange'.

'coordinate' transformed from the Latin word 'coordinare' and eventually became the modern English word 'coordinate'. The prefix 'dis-' was added to form 'discoordinate'.

Initially, 'coordinate' meant 'to arrange together', but with the prefix 'dis-', it evolved to mean 'to cause to lose coordination'.
