+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''déranger'''^(Wiktionary)

+ Old French [[m|fro|desrengier]].^(Wiktionary)^(GLLF 1989)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|fr|dé-|ranger]], formed as the opposite of [[arranger]].^(TLFi)^(Grand Robert 2005)^(Petit Robert 2007)^(FEW|16, 244a) The verb [[ranger]] comes from [[rang]], from [[frk|*hring|t=circle, ring]].^(Bloch & Wartburg 1989)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ In the ''Chanson de Roland'' (about 1100) ''desrengier'' means to break ranks, a sense used until the 15th century.^(TLFi)^(GLLF 1989)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In the early 13th century it meant to throw ranks into disorder, and, from 1596 (Hulsius) to move something from its proper place, to disarrange.^(TLFi) In the late 17th century Madame de Sévigné uses it for upsetting plans or the working of something, and ''cerveau dérangé'' “deranged mind” is in Destouches (1713).^(TLFi)

+

+ Moving someone from their place (La Bruyère, before 1693) led to the common modern sense “to disturb, bother” (Trévoux, 1752): ''excusez-moi de vous déranger''.^(TLFi)^(GLLF 1989) In 1694 the Académie has ''dérangé dans sa conduite'' “led astray”, and in 1704 ''se déranger'' means to fall into dissipation.^(TLFi)
