What I find interesting in these dis-ses is take f.i. the word
disentangle versus discourage.
There seem to be two solutions.
entangle-disentangle
but: encourage-discourage .. not disencourage.
Is it by accident that some have kept the 'en' and others have lost it?
Just the ordinary illogics of language?
