What does Disqualified really mean?

Alright, so "disqualified" is a word that basically means someone or something is not able to participate in something. It's like when you want to be part of a game or a competition, but then someone says you can't be part of it. That's being disqualified.

For example, let's say there's a race at school and you really want to join in and run as fast as you can. But if you break one of the rules, like starting before the whistle, the teacher might say you're disqualified, and that means you can't finish the race or win a prize.

Or think about a famous singing contest on TV. If one of the contestants is caught cheating or doing something against the rules, the judges might say they're disqualified, and that means they can't continue in the competition.

So being disqualified means you're not allowed to take part in something because maybe you did something wrong or didn't follow the rules. It's like being told you can't play in a game because you didn't follow the rules, you know? It's just not fair for the other people who did follow the rules.
