To only disable a pacman package

How do we only disable a pacman package, not delete/remove it from filesystem ?
(as for good dependencies test)

What do you mean by "disable"?

I am not versed with Pacman, but I am not aware how packages can be disabled by other package managers like apt or yum.

Start by reading the doco. For Arch that means getting comfortable reading the wiki.

Also, what do you mean by "good dependencies test"?

Also, what distro?

PS: by default, if you uninstall a package install, pacman keeps the package itself archived.
