Etymology of DISREGARD
The word disregard originated from the combination of two words: dis- and regard.
The prefix dis- comes from the Old French word des- which means apart or away. It passed through Middle English and eventually evolved into the modern prefix dis-, which conveys negation or reversal.
The word regard comes from the Old French word regarder, meaning to look at or to consider. It derives from the combination of re- meaning again and garder meaning to guard or to watch.
Thus, by combining the prefix dis- with the word regard, the term disregard was formed, expressing the idea of not considering or not paying attention to something.
