Etymology of DISA

The word "disa" is of Afrikaans origin. It comes from the Dutch word "tweeslag" which means "two-part marriage" or "double marriage". In the early Afrikaans community, a "disa" was a custom where a young man would spend weekends at the home of his girlfriend, essentially engaging in a semi-marital cohabitation. Over time, the term "disa" evolved to refer to a "romantic couple" or "pair", regardless of marital status. Today, "disa" is commonly used in South Africa to describe a couple or partnership.
