A word consisting of two syllables.
From Late Latin disyllabum, from Greek dis- (two) + syllabe (syllable). This is the noun form, while disyllabic is the adjective form.
Simple disyllables like 'table,' 'happy,' and 'water' are among the first words children learn—they have a natural rhythm that makes them easy to pronounce. Linguists notice that languages tend to favor disyllable words in their core vocabulary.
