disincline

/ˌdɪsɪnˈkɫaɪn/ verb

To make reluctant; to lessen the inclination of.

Word Origin From Latin dis- 'away' and clinare 'to lean' — so to disincline is to lean away from something, to make unwilling. The same root clinare gives us incline (lean toward), decline (lean down), recline (lean back), and climate (the slope of the earth's surface). The PIE root *klei- 'to lean' also underlies ladder and lid.
