To change something's essential character or nature; to make unnatural or pervert from its original state.
From dis- + nature. English usage dating back to the 1500s, influenced by Old French and Latin forms expressing negation of nature.
Medieval and Renaissance writers used 'disnature' to describe moral corruption—like when evil turns someone's kindness into cruelty, fundamentally changing who they are.
