Word origin
The word 'disapproved' originates from the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the verb 'approve' which comes from Old French 'aprover' and Latin 'approbare', both meaning 'to prove, approve'. The negative prefix 'dis-' was added to 'approve' to form 'disapprove', creating a word that signifies the opposite of approval.
