Word origin
The word 'disjointedness' is derived from the verb 'disjoint', which originated in the late Middle English period. 'Disjoint' itself comes from the Old French word 'desjointier', meaning 'to dislocate or put out of joint'. The suffix '-ness' is added to form the noun 'disjointedness', referring to the quality or state of being disjointed. Over time, the word has come to be commonly used in the English language to describe lack of coherence or connection.
