Etymology

1. c.1340, from O.Fr. disposer (infl. by poser "to place"), from O.Fr. despondre, from L. disponere "put in order, arrange," from dis- "apart" + ponere "to put, place" (see position). Disposition "temperament" is 1387, from astrological use of the word for "position of a planet as a determining influence." Disposable in the modern sense is first recorded 1943, originally of diapers, soon of everything; replaced throw-away (1928). First recorded use of disposable income is from 1948.
2. Borrowed from French disposer.
