Does the word disparage have latin root means equal?

No, the word "disparage" does not have Latin roots meaning "equal."

Here's the breakdown:

* Disparage comes from the Latin "disparare," which means "to make unequal" or "to separate."

* The prefix "dis-" means "apart" or "away," while "parare" relates to "making equal" or "preparing."

Therefore, the word "disparage" actually means to lower in rank or reputation, to belittle, or to depreciate.
