This disapproval can manifest itself through various actions or attitudes such as neglect, criticism, withholding of benefits, or expressing a lack of interest. A disfavourer may intentionally ignore or undermine the efforts or achievements of the subject of their disapproval, or they may openly express their disdain or aversion towards it.
The role of a disfavourer can occur in various contexts, including personal relationships, workplaces, academic settings, social circles, or even within institutions or society at large.

Being a disfavourer does not necessarily imply direct hostility or animosity, but it signifies a lack of support, favoritism, or positive regard towards the subject. The actions of a disfavourer can have significant consequences, such as hindering the progress, growth, or success of the person or entity they disfavour.
The word "disfavourer" is derived from the combination of two components: "dis-" and "favour". "Dis-" is a prefix in English, indicating negation or reversal, while "favour" comes from the Old French word "favor". The prefix "dis-" is derived from the Latin prefix "dis-", which has a similar meaning. The combination of these elements forms the word "disfavour", which means to show disapproval or lack of support towards someone or something. The suffix "-er" is added to "disfavour" to create the noun "disfavourer", meaning a person or thing that disfavours or opposes.
