Etymology
The term 'disbursal' originated from the late Middle English word 'disburse', which comes from the Old French 'desbourser'. Its roots can be traced back to the Latin 'disburare', meaning 'to pay out'. The prefix 'dis-' implies a separation or distribution, while 'bursal' relates to the act of dispensing funds. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass various aspects of financial transactions, particularly in regards to the allocation and distribution of money in accounting and budgeting contexts. By the early 20th century, 'disbursal' became commonly used in financial discussions to refer specifically to the act of releasing funds.
