Etymology of DISASSOCIATE

The word "disassociate" is derived from the Latin word "dis-" which means "apart" or "away", and the Latin word "associare" which means "to join" or "to unite". "Associare" is a combination of the prefix "ad-" meaning "to" or "towards", and the root "socius" meaning "companion" or "ally".
