Etymology
Borrowed from Middle French desordre (modern French désordre), from Old French desordre, from des- + ordre; by surface analysis, dis- + order (<< Latin ōrdō). Compare typologically Russian непоря́док (neporjádok), беспоря́док (besporjádok), неуря́дица (neurjádica) (akin to ряд (rjad), поря́док (porjádok)).
