Resembling or relating to a disc or disk shape; flattened and circular.
From Latin 'discus,' meaning 'disk' or 'quoit,' a circular object. The adjective form adds the suffix -ous (having the quality of), directly inheriting the Latin root referring to round, flat objects.
The ancient Greek and Roman 'discus' was both a weapon and an Olympic event—they threw flat, round objects, so 'discous' literally means 'disk-like' from the very competitions we still do today!
