Morphology
disarranged = disarrange (transparent) = dis + arrange + ed
The adjective is a straightforward past-participial formation from the verb 'disarrange'.
Etymology
The word disarranged comes from dis- meaning 'not' and arrange meaning 'put in order', so it literally means 'not put in order'. That's why we call furniture, hair, or papers disarranged when they are messy and not in their place.
