Word Origin From Latin disponere 'to arrange, put apart' — dis- 'apart' + ponere 'to put.' Disposable means able to be put aside, thrown away. Disposability is the quality of being disposable. The root ponere is everywhere: position (a placing), compose (put together), expose (put out), impose (put upon). The breakdown dis+pos+ability shows the prefix, root pos- (place), and suffix -ability (capability).
