Etymology

The word 'disburser' originated from the combination of the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'apart' or 'away', and the word 'burse' which comes from the Middle English 'burse' meaning 'a purse or bag'. The concept of a disburser has been around for centuries, as the need to distribute funds or make payments has always been a crucial part of financial transactions.
