Making something messy, confused, or no longer organized; taking away order or structure from something.
From dis- (meaning 'opposite of') + organize (from Greek organon 'tool'). The verb organize means to arrange in order, so disorganize means to undo that arrangement. The -ing form shows an ongoing action.
Disorganizing became a common word during the Industrial Revolution when factories needed systems to stay organized—having a word for 'messing up the system' was suddenly important to management!
