Etymology

From dis- +‎ iaciō (“throw, hurl”).

Pronunciation

(Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /disˈi̯i.ki.oː/, [d̪ɪs̠ˈi̯ɪkioː]
(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /disˈji.t͡ʃi.o/, [d̪isˈjiːt͡ʃio]
(Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /diːˈsi.ki.oː/, [d̪iːˈs̠ɪkioː]
(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /diˈsi.t͡ʃi.o/, [d̪iˈs̬iːt͡ʃio]

Verb

disiciō (present infinitive disicere, perfect active disiēcī, supine disiectum); third conjugation iō-variant

to throw or drive asunder; scatter, disperse, break up, divide; dishevel; spread
(military) to disperse, scatter or rout the enemy
to destroy, bring to naught; thwart, overthrow, frustrate

Usage notes

In prosody, the first syllable is always long by position due to the unwritten /j/, thus disiciō can be found written as dīsiciō in some editions or manuals, which however doesn't signify the length of the vowel itself.
