Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'lack of ease; inconvenience'): from Old French desaise 'lack of ease', from des- (expressing reversal) + aise 'ease'.

At first disease was ‘lack of ease, inconvenience, trouble’, the meaning of the word in French, from which English adopted it in the early Middle Ages. The ‘lack of ease’ soon became associated with illness, and the original sense became obsolete.
