Morphology

disregardless = regardless (semi-transparent) = dis + regard + less

The form is analyzable as 'dis-' + 'regard' + '-less' via the base 'regardless', but the added 'dis-' creates a redundant/incorrect double negation and is nonstandard, which can mislead learners.

Etymology

The word disregardless is a nonstandard, informal word made by adding dis- ('not') to regardless ('without regard' or 'without caring'). That makes it say the same thing twice, but a helpful way to remember it is that people use disregardless to mean 'regardless' or 'without paying attention to people's opinions'.
