Morphology
disunified = unified (transparent) = dis + uni + fy + ed
For most learners who know 'unified', adding 'dis-' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'not unified' or 'lacking unity'.
Etymology
The word disunified is made from dis- meaning 'not' and unified from unify meaning 'to make one'. So disunified literally means 'not made one' or 'not brought together', which is why we use it for a group that lacks unity or togetherness.
