Essentially different in kind; having no similarity or relationship. Composed of distinct, unrelated elements.
From Latin 'disparatus,' past participle of 'disparare' (to separate), from 'dis-' (apart) and 'parare' (to prepare). The word entered English in the 16th century, maintaining its sense of separation and difference.
Think 'dis-SEPARATE' - things so different they can't even be compared! Like comparing apples and theoretical physics - completely disparate subjects.
