Morphology

disowning = disown (opaque) = dis + own + ing

Adding '-ing' to the technical verb 'disown' straightforwardly forms the name of the operation.

Etymology

Disowning in computing comes from the same parts dis- 'not' and own 'to have'. A helpful way to remember this sense is to think the shell 'stops owning' a job, so the job will keep running and will not be stopped when you log out.
