To pull up by the roots; to uproot or remove something from its foundation.
From dis- + root. While similar to 'uproot,' disroot uses dis- instead of up- to convey removal from the root.
Both 'disroot' and 'uproot' mean the same thing, but 'disroot' is the older form. Language is full of these pairs where different prefixes (dis-, up-, un-) create near-synonyms that survive side by side.
