Plural of disruption; instances of breaking apart, interrupting, or disturbing the normal continuity of something.
The plural form of 'disruption' (from Latin disruptio, from disrumpere). The base concept evolved from physical meanings (breaking apart materials) to behavioral and organizational meanings (interrupting normal processes).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, 'disruptions' became one of the most-used words in business reporting—but linguistically interesting is how the word shifted from describing bad things to describing inevitable, even necessary changes.
