What does the french word dis mean?

The French word "dis-" is not a word on its own. It's a prefix, which means it's attached to the beginning of a word to change its meaning.

"Dis-" generally means "not" or "the opposite of".

Here are some examples:

* "Disagree" - *dis* + *agree* = not agree

* "Dislike" - *dis* + *like* = not like

* "Disorder" - *dis* + *order* = the opposite of order

* "Disconnect" - *dis* + *connect* = not connect

So, while "dis" doesn't stand alone as a word, it's a helpful prefix to understand the meaning of many French words.
