Etymology: "Disrecommends" is simply the third-person singular present form of "disrecommend," so its history is that of the verb it inflects. "Disrecommend" is formed from the prefix "dis-," which reverses or negates the action of the base, and "recommend," which comes from Latin "recommendare," meaning to commend again or entrust to someone's care. Adding "dis-" to "recommend" produces a verb meaning to advise against something or to speak against it, the opposite of recommending it.
