In a personal context, disfavour describes the act of showing discontent or disapproval towards an individual. It may manifest through withholding affection, praise, or privileges, or by deliberately treating someone with animosity or disregard. Disfavour often arises from personal differences, conflicting opinions, or from experiencing displeasure with someone's behavior, beliefs, or actions.
Additionally, concerning social and professional aspects, disfavour pertains to the exclusion, disregard, or rejection of a person or their ideas. It can manifest in various forms, such as being excluded from social circles, not being considered for promotions or opportunities, or facing resistance and opposition in achieving goals.
Furthermore, in the realm of politics, disfavour denotes a lack of public support or confidence towards a political figure, party, or policy. This can result in reduced popularity, distrust, and even the loss of power or influence.
Overall, disfavour is a term that encompasses negative sentiment, unease, or opposition, highlighting the presence of disapproval, alienation, or a general lack of support towards certain individuals, groups, ideas, or actions.

The word "disfavour" originated from Old French "desfavoir" or "desfaveur", which was derived from the Latin term "disfavorem". In Latin, "dis-" means "apart" or "away", and "favorem" means "favor". Therefore, "disfavour" originally referred to a state of being apart from or away from favor, indicating the absence of approval or support.
