Can I use “disactivate” instead of “deactivate”? [closed]
Solution 1:
Seems like “disactivate” is almost never used. In Corpus of Contemporary American English “deactivate” is used 137 times, “inactivate” is used 105 times (almost all of them in biology contexts), “disactivate” isn't used at all. OneLook has only one reference, to Urban Dictionary. New Oxford American Dictionary doesn't contain the word either. Google Books Ngram Viewer shows no mentions of “disactivate”.
You should use “deactivate” instead of “disactivate”.
