Borrowed, with a change in meaning, from French disquaire (“record dealer; record shop”).

noun disquaires · discaire

dated A disc jockey, especially one in a French-speaking country. Some discothèques allow their patrons to suggest tunes to the disquaire, but at many such an impertinence would be unthinkable—like asking Pablo Casals to play Melancholy Baby.
