disorganise

Throw into disarray

Disorganise is the British spelling of disorganize.

To disorganise is to disrupt the order or structure of something: The strike disorganised the entire production schedule.

What was once systematic becomes chaotic or confused.

The word often describes external forces disrupting established arrangements rather than mere untidiness.
