DERAY — [Noun, Verb] A state of disorder or disturbance; to throw into such a state. From Old French derroi, desroi, desrei, from des- (a prefix from Latin dis-, meaning "apart, away") + roi, rei, rai (meaning "order"). Unlike "disarray," which suggests a tangible mess of strewn belongings, or "derange," which implies a clinical disruption of a system or mind, "deray" is the archaic spectre of pure tumult. It is the sudden clamor of dropped cutlery in a silent hall, the frantic scrabble of papers in a sudden gale, and the soul's quiet undoing in the small hours—the palpable moment the scaffold of expectation falls away, leaving only its ghost.
