Root Explanation

Disunity → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning apart) and "unity" (from Latin "unitas", meaning oneness or being one). The word "disunity" refers to a state of being apart or lacking unity.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'apart' ('dis-') from 'oneness' ('unity') — that's why disunity means a lack of togetherness.
