Etymology of DISABLES

The word "disable" originated from the combination of two Old French words: "des-" meaning "opposite" or "not", and "able" from the Latin word "habilis" meaning "capable" or "able". It was first used in Middle English in the 15th century with the meaning of "rendering someone incapable or unable". Over time, the word evolved to specifically refer to a person with a physical or mental impairment that restricts their ability to perform certain tasks.
