Root Explanation

Disorganization → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart or away) and "organization" (from the Greek "organon", meaning tool or instrument, and the suffix "-ization" which indicates a process or result). The word describes the process of being apart from an organized state or lacking order.

Memory Tip

Think of 'dis-' meaning apart and 'organization' referring to a structured arrangement. This helps you remember that disorganization means a lack of order or structure.
