About the prefix DIS-
The prefix dis generally marks an opposite, an absence or a removal. Compare agree and disagree, honest and dishonest, arm and disarm. Most dis- words came into English through Latin or French, and many of them were formed in those languages rather than in English, which is why some of them have no matching English base word: distract and dismal, for instance, don't break neatly into dis- plus a modern word.
On this page every word starting with D-I-S is counted, prefix or not, and the observations show how many still spell a word once those three letters are taken away. Expect a mix of clean pairs and coincidences. For word puzzles, dis- is worth remembering as a way to reach seven or eight letters from a four- or five-letter base, and the S in the middle means that a single S on your rack can sometimes be used inside the prefix rather than as a plural.
