What Does Disposed Mean?

The word disposed is defined as having made preparations and taken all the requisite precautions. A person is said to be disposed to do something when he is ready in every possible way to take the inherent risks involved in doing that act.

It also means apt. The word disposed, when used in this context, is usually followed by the word to (as in apt to). A person is apt to doing something when he is naturally disposed toward or inclined to doing that act.

The words which are closely associated with the words disposed, but do not mean the same as the word disposed, are the words disposed handle and well-disposed. A disposed handle is a handle whose associated relocatable block has been disposed of. The word 'well-disposed' means favourable or favourably disposed. It is the antonym of antagonistic. The government of a country is disposed to the interests of the people when the policies it frames are favourable (and acceptable) to the citizens.
