To deprive of speed or momentum; lacking speed or moving slowly.
From dis- (remove) + speed. This archaic formation attempts to create a negative form of speed, though it never became standard English.
This is another example of how productive the dis- prefix is in English—theoretically you can add it to almost any word, but 'dispeed' never caught on because 'slow' was already a perfectly good word!
