What does adding dis do to a word?

Adding "dis" to the beginning of a word usually creates a negative or opposite meaning. It's a prefix that signifies disagreement, absence, or reversal.

Here are some examples:

* Agree becomes disagree

* Able becomes disable

* Connect becomes disconnect

* Honest becomes dishonest

* Like becomes dislike

It's important to note that while "dis" is a common prefix for creating opposites, it doesn't always work for every word. There are exceptions, and some words with "dis" don't have a clear opposite meaning.

If you're unsure whether "dis" can be added to a word, it's best to consult a dictionary or online resource.
