The usage of 'disarrange' dates back to at least the 19th century, influenced by the growing interest in organizational and systematic approaches to everyday tasks. Over time, 'disarranging' has evolved to encompass both physical and abstract contexts, reflecting a wider range of applications in English. The term highlights not only the action of disorder but also its implications for efficiency and clarity in various settings.
