disco

disc

noun DEE-skoh Common

Origin: from Greek diskos

record

Usage Note

Disco ranges from a vinyl 'record' to a computer 'disk' (disco rigido, hard disk) and the throwing 'discus'. Because it ends in -co with stress two back, the plural hardens to dischi. Short for discoteca, it also means a nightclub.

Examples

"Ho comprato un nuovo disco."

Natural Translation

I bought a new record.

Literal Translation

I-have bought a new disc.
