Etymology of DISGUIZE
The word "disguize" does not have an established etymology, as it is a variant spelling of "disguise".
The word "disguise" originated in Middle English around the 14th century, derived from the Old French word "deguise", meaning "to hide, conceal.” The Old French term was further derived from the Vulgar Latin word "disguiȥare", which was a combination of the Latin prefix "dis-", meaning "apart" or "away", and the Germanic word "wīsōjan", meaning "to make wise" or "to show". Hence, the word "disguise" originally meant "to change one’s appearance or behavior so as not to be recognized" or "to make or show one's hidden self".
