DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSION ON EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT AND RACE
Learning how to learn---It is a truism, that, OBJECTIVITY is more of an intention expressed, more-so than an attitude achieved, but the intention-conscious, unambiguous, and constantly self critical-is a PRECONDITION to its achievement. EXAMINATION is important to the effort of critical analysis and the ART of investigative detection.

It is important for us to have made it back to this point, and so, lets do it again!

Trace "DIS" to the number Two.
0 - Nothing
1 - Everything
2 - The first distinct/knowable number
Middle English twa, two, adjective & pronoun, from Old English twā (feminine & neuter); akin to Old English twēgen two (masculine), tū (neuter), Old High German zwēne (masculine), zwā, zwō (feminine), zwei (neuter), Old Norse tveir (masculine) tvær (feminine), tvau (neuter), Gothic twai (masculine), twos (feminine), twa (neuter), Latin duo, Greek dyo, Sanskrit dva
The word "Two" derives from multiple forms we would consider singular (male, female, neuter), the latin for "pair" (a singular concept also), and the Greek Dyo (Dia - to divide, a line that is both singular as the line and equally representative of the two halves it creates).
I share this to help those investigating the word PREDISPOSITION. The PRE- part is straight-forward, as is the ION noun/action suffix. Its the middle - DISPOSE that gets REAL interesting. ENJOY!
DO NOT STOP! KEEP GOING--IF YOU STOP THERE WILL BE REGRET--DO NOT STOP LEARNING!
B.
Never heard of the god "Dis" of Roman Mythology, the god of the underworld. Neither was I aware of the prefixes "dis-", "di-" or "des-" also meaning two but thinking of different words containing those prefixes I now can see the connection with two.
Also with down, below, under and more and be careful of the context....
