Origin & History

A playful, probably invented American English word that became popular in the early 19th century; built with the prefix dis- plus a fanciful base (compare 'discompose'/'disconcert').

एक खेल-भाव/हास्यपूर्ण, संभवतः गढ़ा हुआ अमेरिकी अंग्रेज़ी शब्द, जो 19वीं सदी की शुरुआत में लोकप्रिय हुआ; dis- उपसर्ग के साथ एक कल्पित/मनगढ़ंत मूल से बना (जैसे 'discompose'/'disconcert' से तुलना)।

Definition

अचानक कुछ अनपेक्षित होने पर मानसिक रूप से उलझन/भ्रम में होना या क्या करें यह न समझ पाना; कभी-कभी शारीरिक या व्यवस्था/संगठन के स्तर पर भी अव्यवस्था में होना।
