dispozitë

Dispozitë is a feminine noun in Albanian that denotes the act or result of placing, arranging, or organizing something, as well as the state or condition that results from such arrangement. The term is used in everyday language to describe the layout of objects, the order of elements in a system, or the manner in which something is prepared or organized. It can also refer to a person’s disposition or temperament, indicating their predisposition, inclination, or willingness to act in a certain way.

In legal and administrative discourse, dispozitë commonly refers to a provision or clause within a normative act, such as a law, regulation, or contract. In this sense, it is a specific article or stipulation that governs rights, duties, or procedures. The plural form is dispozita, with dispozitat used for multiple provisions. This legal usage is widely found in Albanian statutes, court texts, and official documents, where precise phrasing delineates obligations and authorizations.

Etymology traces dispozitë to Latin dispositio, through the lens of European legal and linguistic development. The term shares its core sense of arrangement and specification across domains—from spatial layout and personal temperament to the precise clauses of legal texts. Related terms include dispozitor and dispozitiv, which appear in more specialized or technical contexts.

Dispozitë thus covers a range of related meanings centered on arrangement, disposition, and specification, with particular prominence in everyday speech about organization and in formal texts about law and governance.
