Disorganic

/dɪsɔːrˈɡænɪk/ adjective

Definition

Lacking organic structure or organization; not forming a cohesive, organized whole; disconnected from natural systems.

Etymology

From dis- (reversal) + organic (from Latin organicus, meaning relating to organs or organized systems). This combines negation with the concept of living, organized structure.

Kelly Says

This word reveals an old philosophical distinction: 'organic' once meant 'properly organized' long before it meant 'from nature'—so 'disorganic' originally meant 'not properly put together' as a system.
