Etymology of DIS-UNIFYING

The word dis-unifying is formed by combining the prefix dis- meaning the opposite of or not with the word unifying, which is the present participle form of the verb unify.

The term unify originates from the Latin word unificare, which is derived from unus meaning one and facere meaning to make. Therefore, unify means to make one or to bring together into a single and cohesive whole.

When the prefix dis- is added to unifying, it creates the idea of negation or reversal of unifying. So, dis-unifying means not unifying or causing a lack of unity or coherence.
