Discoach

/dɪsˈkoʊtʃ/ verb

Definition

To remove from a coach or carriage; to take out of a vehicle.

Etymology

From dis- (meaning to remove) + coach (a carriage or vehicle). This is a rare historical word from when coaches were the primary form of transportation.

Kelly Says

Discoach is a beautiful example of how English forms new verbs with dis-: if you could 'coach' someone somewhere (carry them in a coach), you could 'discoach' them by taking them out—it's logical but rarely used.
