Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'dispel, disperse', also 'examine by argument'): from Latin discuss- 'dashed to pieces', later 'investigated', from the verb discutere, from dis- 'apart' + quatere 'shake'.

  • The basic sense of discuss is ‘shaking and separating’. Latin quatere ‘shake’ is the base verb, combined with dis- ‘apart’ to form discutere meaning ‘dash to pieces’ and later ‘investigate’.
