UK: ˌdɪs.əˈɡriː | US: ˌdɪs.əˈɡriː

The word "disagree" combines the Latin-derived prefix dis- (indicating negation or reversal) with the verb agree, which originates from the Old French agreer ("to please, satisfy"). Agree itself stems from Latin ad- (to) + gratus (pleasing). Thus, "disagree" literally means "to not harmonize" or "to oppose in opinion." The term emerged in Late Middle English (15th century) as a logical antonym to "agree," reflecting the prefix's role in inverting the root's meaning.
