To destroy or disrupt a warren (a network of rabbit burrows), or metaphorically to disturb a secured or established place.
From dis- (negation/reversal) + warren (from Old French warenne, meaning a managed hunting ground or rabbit enclosure). Warren originally meant a legally protected hunting preserve in medieval times.
Medieval warrens were carefully maintained rabbit breeding grounds that provided food and furs for nobility—diswarrening one was actual vandalism! This word reveals how specific and property-conscious medieval vocabulary was about managing wildlife resources.
