Etymology of DISARM

The word "disarm" has its roots in Middle English. It originated from the combination of the prefix "dis-" meaning "opposite" or "remove" and the word "arm" derived from Old French "armier" which means "to arm" or "equip with weapons". In turn, "armier" comes from Latin "armare", the verb form of "arma" meaning "weapons" or "defensive equipment". Thus, the etymology of "disarm" suggests the act of removing or taking away weapons or the means of defense.
