Etymology
The word 'disclaimer' originated in the mid-16th century from the combination of 'dis-' (expressing negation) and 'claim'. It was initially used in a legal context to refer to a renunciation of a legal claim or right. Over time, the term evolved to encompass broader meanings related to disavowal and limitation of responsibility.
