disco

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

English

Etymology 1

From a shortening of discotheque, from French discothèque.

Pronunciation

Noun

disco (countable and uncountable, plural discos)

  1. (countable, slightly dated) Clipping of discotheque, a nightclub for dancing.
    Synonyms: club, nightclub
    • 1986, Morrissey & Johnny Marr, “Panic”, in The World Won’t Listen, performed by The Smiths:
      Burn down the disco / Hang the blessed DJ / Because the music that they constantly play / It says nothing to me about my life
  2. (uncountable, music) A genre of dance music that was popular in the 1970s, characterized by elements of soul music with a strong Latin-American beat and often accompanied by pulsating lights.
    • 2009, Marcus Reeves, Somebody Scream!‎, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, →ISBN:
      And black music became a hot commodity in the form of disco, its lyrics and rhythm laced with a palpable (even ethnic) amiguity, helping people dance and escape their concerns. Even the cry of “burn, baby, burn”, a popular chant during many a 1960s urban rebellion, was co-opted by the times, becoming the chorus for the 1977 dance hit “Disco Inferno.”

Verb

disco (third-person singular simple present discos, present participle discoing, simple past and past participle discoed)

  1. (intransitive) To dance disco-style dances.
    • 2013, Roger Ebert, “B.A.P.S.”, in I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie‎, Andrews McMeel Publishing, →ISBN:
      The cause of his ill health is left a little obscure, and no wonder, because shortly before his dreadful deathbed scene he's well enough to join the women in a wild night of disco dancing. You have not lived until you've seen Martin Landau discoing.
  2. (intransitive) To go to discotheques.
    • 2009 February 16, Cathy Horyn, “Designers Square Off: Sexy vs. Classy”, in New York Times‎:
      Learning that a discoing sex appeal has returned to the runways is a little like hearing that Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb are reuniting.

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic *diskō, from earlier *dikskō, from Proto-Indo-European *di-dḱ-ské-ti, a reduplicated durative, inchoative and suffixed verb from the root *deḱ- (“to take”). From the same root as doceō; unrelated to discipulus.

Cognates include Ancient Greek δέχομαι (dékhomai), whereas δαῆναι (daênai) is attributed to another root, *dens-, together with δεδαώς (dedaṓs), δήνεα (dḗnea) and διδάσκω (didáskō).

Verb

discō (present infinitive discere, perfect active didicī, supine discitum); third conjugation

  1. (transitive) to learn
    Synonyms: capiō, percipiō, concipiō, comprehendō, intellegō, cognoscō, noscō, agnoscō, animadvertō, calleō, sciō
    Aut disce aut discēde.
    Either learn or go away.
    artem discere ― to learn an art
    aliquid ab aliquo discere ― to learn something from someone
  2. (transitive) (Late Latin) to teach
    Synonyms: ērudiō, ēducō, doceō, ēdoceō, īnstruō, imbuō, fingō
  3. (drama, transitive) to study, practice
    Synonym: studeō
