/dʌɪsɪˈlabɪk/

/dɪsɪˈlabɪk/

Etymology: < French dissyllabique (16th cent.), < Latin disyllabus (see disyllabe adj. and -ic suffix): after syllabic adj. and n.In this and the following related words, as also in trisyllable, etc., the non-etymological spellings diss-, triss-, were originally taken over from French (dissyllabe, trissyllabe, etc.), in which, according to Darmesteter, the function of the ss is ‘to express the hard sound of the s’. In English, trissyllable, though frequent in 17–18th cent., was early corrected in the Dictionaries and altered to trisyllable. Dissyllable was universal in 17–18th cent., and (apparently either under the erroneous impression that it contains, not the Greek prefix δι-, but the word δίς, or from association with words in the Latin prefix dis-, as disseminate, dissimulate, dissonant, etc.), is still the spelling of the majority. But classical scholars now prefer the etymological form, which has also been approved by the Philological Society.

Consisting of two syllables. Also as n.
