Etymology
'unexpectedly-disorganized' originates from the combination of 'unexpectedly' and 'disorganized'. 'Unexpectedly' comes from 'unexpected', which is derived from the Latin 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'pectare' meaning 'to look'. 'Disorganized' comes from 'dis-' meaning 'apart' and 'organize' from the Greek 'organon' meaning 'tool' or 'instrument'.
'unexpectedly' evolved from the Old French 'desorganiser', and 'disorganized' from the Middle English 'disorganisen'.
Initially, 'disorganized' meant 'to destroy the systematic arrangement', but over time it evolved to mean 'lacking order or planning'.
