Frequently Asked Questions About disposition

What is the difference between disposition and predisposition?

Sometimes disposition and predisposition mean the same thing, 

and sometimes they do not. 

When referring to a person's usual mood or attitude 

you would speak of their disposition, not their predisposition.

However, when referring to a person's tendency, or inclination,

the two words are largely synonymous

(one might have either a predisposition or a disposition towards being generous). 

An exception to this synonym comes in medical use, where it is far more common to use predisposition (as in "a predisposition to nearsightedness").

 

 

What does disposition mean in court?

In legal use the word disposition may have several possible meanings. 

It may refer to the sentence given to a convicted juvenile defendant, 

or to the final determination of a matter 

(such as a case or motion) by a court. 

 

It may also be defined as 

"transfer to the care, possession, or ownership of another" 

as well as "the power of such transferal."

 

What does disposition mean in business?

In business, disposition may refer 

either to "the transfer of property from one to another 

by any of various means including gift, barter, sale, or will" 

or to “the plan for or method by which such a transfer is executed.”

Disposition

After a college basketball coach used the word to praise a rival ...

When:

Lookups spiked on February 8, 2012.

Why:

A college basketball coach used the word to praise a rival team.

After being beaten 78-58 by the University of Kentucky, 

University of Florida coach Billy Donovan 

offered a widely quoted assessment of the Wildcats:

"The one thing I like about their team is I love their disposition on the floor. 

There's a certain disposition you have to have 

and I'm not talking about an arrogance or a cockiness, 

but there's like a focus level in terms of what really goes into winning at that level."

 

Disposition means "the usual attitude or mood of a person" 

and comes from the Latin verb that means "to set in order."
