Originally it came from English. Dis (ディス)　means an opposite of some words. So example 「like v dislike」. It has been said that this [disる], which quite often used by young people, came form 「disrespect」. Disrespect is a noun which means [lack of respect or courtesy] and as a verb means [ show a lack of respect for, insult]. Insulting [侮辱する・ぶじょくする」is much similar meaning for disる. The Japanese took only [dis] , added ru (る）to it and started using as a verb. At first 「disる」 was used over the internet /SNS as a meaning of disrespect after 2000. Later on, it has been changed its meaning as scornful, despise, and finally it has stayed.
