Etymology of DISENVELOP

The word "disenvelop" is a combination of the prefix "dis-", meaning "opposite" or "undo", and the verb "envelop", meaning "to enclose or cover completely".

The origin of the verb "envelop" can be traced back to the Old French word "envoluper", which derived from the Latin word "involutus", the past participle of "involvere". "Involvere" consists of the prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "into") and the verb "volvere" (meaning "to roll"). Therefore, "involvere" originally conveyed the idea of "rolling or wrapping up".

Over time, "envoluper" in Old French evolved into the Middle English term "envelopen" in the 14th century, and eventually transformed into "envelop" in modern English.
