Discandy

/dɪsˈkændi/ verb

Definition

To remove candy coating from something, or to uncandify.

Etymology

From 'dis-' plus 'candy,' from Persian 'qandi.' This is a rare formation showing how the 'dis-' prefix could theoretically attach to any noun.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it's barely documented in historical texts—it's a ghost word that probably only appeared once or twice in literature, yet it follows perfect logical rules of English word-formation.
