The word "disburser" does not have a specific etymology itself. However, it is derived from the verb "disburse" which comes from the Old French word "desbourser". The Old French word is a combination of "des-" (a prefix indicating reversal) and "bourser" (to gain or accumulate money), ultimately derived from the Latin word "bursa" meaning purse or wallet. Therefore, "disburser" refers to someone who is responsible for distributing or paying out funds or money.
