Word origin

The term 'disrupt' originated from the Latin word 'disrumpere,' which means 'to break apart.' It entered the English language in the early 15th century. In the 20th century, the term gained prominence in business jargon, particularly with Clayton Christensen's work in his book 'The Innovator's Dilemma.' In this context, disruption describes the process by which smaller companies with fewer resources are able to successfully challenge established businesses. Over time, 'disrupting' came to symbolize innovation and transformation in various fields beyond just business, influencing discussions on technology, education, and social practices.
