"dis-" means "apart," "asunder," "away," "utterly," or having a privative, negative, or reversing force.

"de-" has its orgins as a preposition that could mean from, away from, of, or out of. Used in privation

"un-" means removal, deprivation, release

I remember each prefixes use by adding the prefix to the verb bar

disbar - "to expel... from the bar" (ridding of)

debar - "to hinder or prevent" (preventing)

unbar - "to remove a bar... from" (absence of)
