Feeling Negative?

Kahli has pushed me into the wonderful world of "Dis-" words. It's amazing how we take them for granted, but if we put a little space in the word, it can evoke a world of new questions. There are the normal ones that are simply a normal, positive word, just with "Dis-" at the front -

Dis.able

Dis.mount

Dis.avow

Dis.invent - Well, actually I think this one is insane. How do you disinvent something? Then how can it be a word?

Dis.appear

But then there are the "Dis-" words that are amazingly interesting and evoke an enormous amount of ideas -

Dis.enchant - Free someone from illusion? Disappoint someone?... Actually "Dis.appoint" is another one.

Dis.cover

Dis.creet

Dis.ease

Dis.embroil - actually that one makes sense but for some reason I like it.

What about Dis.grace? Loss of reputation? Shame? Odd.

Dis.cern

Dis.array - Confuse or dis.organise? But isn't "array" like that anyway?

Dis.favour

Dis.gruntled - Wouldn't "gruntled" be more appropriate?

Dis.combobulate - well that's just a hilarious word for its meaning.

Dis.inter - apparently to dig.

Dis.guise - Isn't a 'guise' a disguise?

Dis.locate

Dispelled

Dis.abuse - persuade someone that their idea or belief is mistaken.

Dis.may

Dis.miss - Fire someone? Won't miss them?

My favourite (well I guess it is similar to dis.enchant or dispelled) is Disillusion...

Dis.illusion

"Disappointment resulting from the discovery that something is not as good as one believed it to be."

And why are so many of these "Dis-" words just different ways of making people sad or... WOW this is really hard without using a "Dis-" word... thus proving my point.

Discombobulated Ethan..
