Etymology
'self-disruption' originates from the combination of 'self,' meaning 'one's own,' and 'disruption,' which comes from Latin 'disruptio,' meaning 'a breaking apart.'
'disruptio' transformed into the Old French word 'disruption,' and eventually became the modern English word 'disruption.'
Initially, 'disruption' meant 'a breaking apart,' but over time it evolved to include the idea of innovation and change in modern contexts.
