Etymology of DISLIKE
The word "dislike" originated from Middle English, where it was formed by combining the prefix "dis-" (meaning "opposite" or "not") and the verb "like". The prefix "dis-" is derived from the Old French word "des-", ultimately from Latin "dis-" or "diss-" meaning "apart" or "away". Thus, "dislike" can be understood as the opposite or absence of liking or having a negative sentiment towards something.
