Med.: An irregularity, derangement or disturbance in the functions of the animal economy; a disease, an illne . Crabb thus discriminates between disorder , disease , distemper , and malady : "All these terms agree in their application to the state of the animal body. Disorder is the general term, and the others specific. In this general sense disorder is altogether indefinite; but in its restricted sense it expre es le than all the rest: it is the mere commencement of a disease ; disease is also more general than the other terms, for it comprehends every serious and permanent disorder in the animal economy, and is therefore of universal application. The disorder is slight, partial, and transitory; the disease is deep rooted and permanent. The disorder may lie in the extremities; the disease lies in the humors and the vital parts. Occasional headaches, colds, or what is merely cutaneous, are termed disorders ; fevers, dropsies, and the like are diseases. Distemper is used for such particularly as throw the animal frame most completely out of its temper or course, and is consequently applied properly to virulent disorders, such as the small-pox. Malady has le of a technical sense than the other terms; it refers more to the suffering than to the state of the body. There may be many maladies where there is no Any perturb a terms may be applied with a similar distinction to the mind as well the body. tion in the mind is a disorder ; avarice is a disease ; melancholy is a distemper as far as it throws the mind out of its bias: it is a malady as far as it occasions suffering.

To expel or degrade from holy orders; to dis ordain. "Let him be stript of his habit and disordered ; I would fain see him walk in querpo, that the world may behold the inside of a friar."-Dryden: Spanish Friar, v. 2. Crabb thus discriminates between to disorder , to derange, to disconcert , and to discompose: "All these terms expre the idea of putting out of order; but the three latter vary as to the mode or object of the action. The term disorder is used in a per fectly indefinite form, and might be applied to any object. As every thing may be in order, so may every thing be disordered ; yet it is seldom used except in regard to such things as have been in a natural order. Derange and disconcert are employed for such things as have been put into an artificial order. To derange is to disorder that which has been systematically arranged, or put in a certain range; and to disconcert is to disorder that which has been put together by concert or contrivance: thus the body may be disordered ; a man's affairs or papers deranged ; a scheme disconcerted, To discompose is a species of derangement in regard to trivial matters: thus a tucker, a frill, or a cap may be discomposed . The slightest change of diet will disorder people of tender constitutions; misfortunes are apt to derange the affairs of the most prosperous: the unexpected return of a master to his home disconcerts the schemes which have been formed by the domestics: those who are particular as to their appearance are careful not to have any part of their dre discomposed . When applied to the mind, disorder and derange are said of the intellect; disconcert and discompose of the ideas or spirits: the former denoting a permanent state, the latter a temporary or transient state. The mind is said to be disordered when the faculty of ratiocination is in any degree interrupted; the intellect is said to be deranged when it is brought into a pos i tive state of incapacity for action: persons sometimes disordered in their minds for a time by particular occurrences, who do not become actually deranged; a person is said to be disconcerted who suddenly loses his collectedne of thinking; he is said to be discomposed who loses his regularity of feeling. A sense of shame is the most apt to disc on cert: the more irritable the temper, the more easily one is discomposed ." (Crabb: Eng. Synon.) dis-or-dered, pa. par. & a. [DISORDER, v.] A.
