From dis- (prefix expressing negation) + natural (from Latin naturalis). Used in English since the 1500s to describe things opposing natural order.
Shakespeare and other Renaissance writers loved this word to describe the unnatural murders and betrayals in their tragedies—it had more weight than just saying 'unnatural.'
