Dispace

/dɪˈspeɪs/ verb

Definition

To remove space from something; an archaic or rare term meaning to compress or eliminate distance.

Etymology

From dis- + space (from Latin spatium 'room, distance'). This appears to be a rare or obsolete word, possibly appearing only in historical texts.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it might only appear in Middle English texts—it shows how old English loved dis- prefixes but most didn't survive!
