Surface Forms

disrelish singular

Morphology

disrelish = relish (transparent) = dis + relish

The meaning is directly built from 'relish' with negative 'dis-', yielding a straightforward sense of lack of liking or distaste.

Etymology

Disrelish comes from the negative prefix dis- meaning 'not' and relish meaning 'enjoyment' or a strong taste. So disrelish literally means 'not enjoying' something, which is why it describes a feeling of dislike or distaste.
