disposed
UK: dɪˈspəʊzd | US: dɪˈspoʊzd
adj. inclined or willing to do something
adj. having a particular attitude or tendency
vt. (past tense of "dispose") arranged or set in order
The word "disposed" originates from the Latin disponere (to arrange), combining dis- (apart) and ponere (to place). Over time, it evolved through Old French disposer (to arrange) into Middle English, retaining the core idea of "placing apart" or "arranging." The modern senses of "inclined" or "willing" metaphorically extend from the notion of being mentally "arranged" toward something.
