Definition of disorderly

disorderlyadjective

bất lương

/dɪsˈɔːdəli//dɪsˈɔːrdərli/

The word "disorderly" traces back to the Old French "desordonné," meaning "without order." This in turn comes from the prefix "des-" (meaning "without") and the noun "ordonné," meaning "order." The noun "order" itself derives from the Latin "ordo," meaning "row, rank, order." Therefore, "disorderly" literally means "without order" and describes a state of chaos, lack of arrangement, or a breach of rules or regulations.
