Picture of Hic et ubique

Hab said, "Do I see an entire sub-genre of redefinitions based on "dis-" meaning 'this'?"

How about a different sub-genre?

A priest who has been expelled has been defrocked.
A lawyer who has lost his license has been disbarred.

Hence:
diversified: a poet who has lost his poetic license
disenchanted: a witch expelled from the coven
disjointed: a hippie who's "sold out" to "the man"
