To separate a pair of things; to break up a pair or matching set of two items.
From dis- + pair (from Latin par 'equal'). A pair means two matching things together, so dispair means to undo that pairing.
In fabric production, workers talk about dispaired socks—when a matched pair gets separated, it's technically 'dispaired,' though nobody really uses that word!
