From Dictionary.com:
“Dis-“ is a Latin prefix meaning “apart”, “asunder”, “away”, “utterly”, or having a privative, negative, or reversing force ( de-, un- 2 ); used freely, especially with these latter senses, as an English formative: disability; disaffirm; disbar; disbelief; discontent; dishearten; dislike; disown.

On their home page it's pretty obvious:
Dis`root' "To tear up the roots of, or by the roots; hence, to tear from a foundation; to uproot." |
