disarrangement

/dˌɪsɚɹˈeɪndʒmənt/ noun

Upset of the normal order.

Word Origin Disarrangement adds the Latin prefix dis- 'apart' to arrangement, which comes from the idea of putting things in a ring or row — the Germanic root *hringaz 'ring, circle' (also giving us ring, rank, and harangue). So arrangement is literally 'putting into a ring' (order), and disarrangement is pulling that order apart. The same dis- prefix shows up in disorder, disconnect, and disarray.
