It is the first or second weekend of the month and time, once again, for a new word to live by. This is a word or phrase not currently in use in the U.S. English lexicon, but might need to be considered. Other words, such as obsurd, crumpify, subsus, flib, congressed, and others, can be found by clicking on the tags below. Today’s New Word is a compounding of a prefix and a root word. Without further waiting, disrot is the new word / phrase for this month:
Dis, a Latin prefix meaning “apart,” “asunder,” “away,” “utterly,” or having a privative, negative, or reversing force.
(For example: disrobe means to remove robe or clothing. Dismount means to climb off the mount, usually an animal such as a horse.)
Rot, v. 1.to undergo decomposition; decay.
2. to deteriorate, disintegrate, fall, or become weak due to decay (often followed by away, from, off, etc.).
3. to languish, as in confinement.
4. to become morally corrupt or offensive.
How about Disrot?
Disrot, v. What happens after spending 5 snow days with your kids, once they have returned to school. You disrot. What happens after a long and tedious meeting in which much is said but little is accomplished. Example: Once the meeting was over, she felt herself disrot. Second example: Once he stopped watching Faux News, he felt himself begin to disrot, and it was a freeing and scary feeling.
