disco

(uncountable) Disco (genre of dance music)

nl-noun

disco m (plural disco's, diminutive discootje n)

disco's (plural)
discootje (diminutive neuter)

Borrowed from English disco. Equivalent to a shortening of discotheek.


disco

Burn down the disco / Hang the blessed DJ / Because the music that they constantly play / It says nothing to me about my life

1986, Morrissey & Johnny Marr, “Panic”, in The World Won’t Listen, performed by The Smiths:

(countable, slightly dated) Clipping of discotheque, a nightclub for dancing.

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.”

2009, Marcus Reeves, Somebody Scream!, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, →ISBN:

(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.

en-noun

disco (countable and uncountable, plural discos)

→ Cebuano: disko

→ Esperanto: diskoo

→ Dutch: disco

→ Polish: disco

→ Romanian: disco

→ Swahili: disko

→ Tagalog: disko

→ Turkish: disko

From a shortening of discotheque, from French discothèque.


disco

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.

2013, Roger Ebert, “B.A.P.S.”, in I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie, Andrews McMeel Publishing, →ISBN:

(intransitive) To dance disco-style dances.

Learning that a discoing sex appeal has returned to the runways is a little like hearing that Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb are reuniting.

2009 February 16, Cathy Horyn, “Designers Square Off: Sexy vs. Classy”, in New York Times:

→ Proto-Brythonic: *dɨskɨd

Breton: deskiñ

Cornish: dyski

Welsh: dysgu

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).
