disable

What does disable mean?

The catch-all for crowd control. Stun, root, silence, hex, ensnare — if it takes a hero out of the fight for a moment, it's a disable. Chain enough together and a target dies without ever pressing a button.

""Save your disable for their carry, don't waste the stun on the support.""

Origin

Dota 2 / MOBA; umbrella term for crowd-control effects.
