Etymology of DIS ENTITLED

The word disentitled is derived from a combination of the prefix dis- and the verb entitle.

The prefix dis- is of Latin origin and means opposite or not. It is typically used to indicate negation or reversal.

The verb entitle comes from the Old French word entitler, which means to assign a title or right to. It ultimately traces back to the Latin word intitulare, which means to give a title to.

Therefore, disentitled combines the negating prefix dis- with the verb entitle to form a term that means to not have a right or title to something, or to be deprived of a claim or entitlement.
