Loyalty's expiration date, arriving exactly when you needed it to not.
means The act of withdrawing support, faith, or allegiance from someone or something you were expected to stand by.
from Built from 'loyal,' which traces back through French to the Latin 'lex' meaning law — a loyal person was originally one who was law-abiding, bound by duty. Add the negating prefix 'dis-' and you get someone unbound from that duty, slipping out from under an obligation that was supposed to hold.
