Discoast

/dɪsˈkoʊst/ verb

Definition

To coast without power; to move downward or forward without active propulsion.

Etymology

From dis- + coast. This rare word combines the prefix with coast (to move without power) to intensify the sense of freely moving without effort.

Kelly Says

Discoast captures something poetic about coasting—moving forward without effort—and the dis- prefix emphasizes the liberation of not having to power through; it's what cyclists do when they reach the downhill.
