To unlock or open a lock; to remove a locking mechanism.
From dis- (reversal, opening) + lock (from Middle Dutch and Low German loc, related to Latin lucere). The prefix dis- reverses the locking action.
Dislock is an older word that's been largely replaced by 'unlock' in modern English, but you'll see it in historical texts and some regional dialects—it represents one of several competing terms before 'unlock' became standardized.
