/dɪsəˈbiːl//dɪsəˈbɪl/
Forms: α. 1600s dishabillie, dishabillié, 1600s–1700s dishabillee, 1700s dishabilie, dishabilly, disabilly, deshabilé, 1600s–1800s déshabillé. β. 1600s–1800s deshabille, déshabille, 1700s deshabil. γ. 1600s– dishabille, 1700s dishabile, (1800s dialect disabil).
Etymology: < French déshabillé (in 1642 desabillé , Hatzfeld & Darmesteter) undress, substantive use of past participle of déshabiller to undress, < des- , dis- prefix 1d + habiller to dress, etc. The final of the French word (or its equivalent) has been occasional in English since the 17th cent., but it was soon changed to e mute, and the prefix generally (like Old French des-) altered to dis-.
