Descure

/dɪˈskjʊr/ verb

Definition

An archaic word meaning to cure or heal; to restore health or remedy a condition.

Etymology

From Middle English and Old French, from des- (un-, reversing) + cure. Extremely rare in modern English.

Kelly Says

Descure is basically dead—it's so archaic that even most historical dictionaries barely mention it, a victim of the simpler 'cure' taking over.
