Where it comes from

From English disc (“vinyl gramophone or phonograph record”) + French -aire (suffix forming adjectives or nouns), modelled after disquaire. Disc is derived from French disque (“disk, record”), from Latin discus (“discus, quoit; dish shaped like a discus; disc of a sundial”), from Ancient Greek δίσκος (dískos, “disc, quoit; dish; round mirror; reliquary”), probably of Pre-Greek origin.

noun discaires

alternative Alternative spelling of disquaire (“disc jockey”). [I]n the winter he used to go out dancing at five in the morning, and why? Because then the crowd had gone, the discaire was no longer playing for them, but for his friends, and that was the best dancing.
