Lack of approval, support, or liking; the state of being viewed unfavorably or with disapproval.
From dis- (meaning to reverse or lack) combined with favor (approval or preference). This term has been used since the 1500s to describe loss of favor or approval.
Royal disfavor was literally a matter of life and death in medieval courts—falling out of a king's favor could mean exile, imprisonment, or execution. Surviving someone's disfavor required careful political maneuvering.
