Word origin
The word 'disallow' originated from the Old French word 'desalouer', which meant 'to reprimand or censure'. Over time, it evolved to its current meaning of prohibiting or rejecting something. The prefix 'dis-' indicates negation, while 'allow' comes from the Latin word 'allaudare', meaning 'to praise'. Therefore, 'disallow' essentially means 'to not praise' or 'to refuse'.
