disway
Language: English
Part of speech: verb
Forms: form: disways
form: diswaying
form: diswayed
form: diswayed
Etymology: Synchronically validly portrayable as either (1) by surface analysis, di- + sway, in direct morphologic parallel with dissuade, or (2) an eggcorn of dissuade; diachronically perhaps now unknowable (as to which of those was the word's historical origin). It is true that (1) dissuade is the much more common word, and (2) disway is not entered in most major dictionaries; and these facts may lend support to the idea that the eggcorn idea is likelier diachronically, and certainly to the idea that most lexicographers consider it likelier.
Senses: examples: text: On many occasions, such non-tribal men are seriously beaten by the tribals, both to disway the non-tribal males from pursuing the intimacy and also to prevent the recurrence of such occurrence in future.
