First Known Use: 1450 year

Story behind the word: The word 'disagree' originated from the combination of the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the verb 'agree', ultimately derived from the Latin word 'agre', meaning 'to please'.

Evolution of the word: Over time, 'disagree' has retained its original meaning of 'not being in harmony or accord', but has also taken on additional connotations of conflict or opposition in various contexts.
