INDISPOSE Meaning and Definition

  1. The verb indispose refers to causing someone to feel unwell or unfit, or to feel reluctant or unwilling to do something. It can also pertain to unsustainable or unfavorable circumstances. When used in relation to a person's physical state, indispose means to make them feel ill or unwell, often resulting in a decreased ability to perform their normal daily activities. This can manifest as various symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, or weakness. Indispose can also be used metaphorically in relation to one's mental or emotional state, suggesting a feeling of discomfort, unease, or reluctance towards a particular task, event, or situation.
