Etymology: < pre- prefix + dispose v., after post-classical Latin predisponere to arrange beforehand (from 12th cent. in British sources, 1617 in the passage translated in quot. 1619 at sense 1a). Compare French prédisposer (1464 in Middle French in an apparently isolated attestation as past participial adjective; subsequently from 1803). Compare slightly earlier predisposed adj.Classical Latin praedispositus predisposed, cited by N.E.D. (1907), represents a conjecture in Livy (40. 56. 11), where the reading per dispositos is now generally preferred.

a. transitive. To render liable or susceptible to a particular attitude, action, or condition; to cause (a person) to have a prior inclination or tendency to do something; to put into a favourable or apt state or condition. Frequently in passive.
