Etymology

Borrowed from French déployer (“to unroll, unfold”), from Old French desploiier, itself from des- + ploiier, or possibly from Late Latin displicāre (“to unfold, display”), from Latin dis- (“apart”) + plicare (“to fold”). Compare Middle English desployen, dysployen (“to unfold, display”). Doublet of display.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To open out; to unfold; to spread out (a body of troops) in such a way that they shall display a wider front and less depth; --the reverse of ploy; as, to deploy a column of troops into line of battle.
  2. noun The act of deploying; a spreading out of a body of men in order to extend their front. -Wilhelm.

Etymology [F. déployer; pref. dé = dés (L. dis) + ployer, equiv. to plier to fold, fr. L. plicare. See Ply, and cf. Display.]
