disuse means: no longer in use, obsolete. It can also refer to neglect please see related link
I think it means that something is new
No because this was a theory proposed by Lamarck who was proven wrong about use and disuse but helped pave the way for other scientist to learn about evolution.

EpigeneticsAnswerWhile epigenetics explains the alternations of phenotypes due to environmental factors or epigenetic inheritance, I believe the answer needed here has to do with evolution, specifically Lamarck's ideas.Lamarck devised the hypothesis of "use and disuse" which postulates that the extreme use of a trait or characteristic will result in it getting longer, stronger, more numerous, etc (depending on the characteristic). It also says that characteristics that are not used (disused) will get smaller, weaker, less numerous, etc and eventually disappear. While Lamarck was correct when he linked the phenotype of an organism to its environment, his proposed mechanisms of evolution (use and disuse & inheritance of acquired characteristics) are not accepted today.
Jean-Baptiste LaMarck's evolution theories included soft inheritance, Lamarckism. The idea that an organism can pass on characteristics it acquired during it's lifetime onto it's offspring, a use/disuse theory(i.e., burrowing animals such as a mole now have small eyes due to disuse). In 1801, he published a major work in the classification of invertebrates, a term he coined. In 1802, he was one of the first scientists to use the term biology in modern sense.
His voice was croaky with disuse.
