From English disc (“vinyl gramophone or phonograph record”) + French -aire (suffix forming adjectives or nouns), modelled after disquaire. Disc is derived from French disque (“disk, record”), from Latin discus (“discus, quoit; dish shaped like a discus; disc of a sundial”), from Ancient Greek δίσκος (dískos, “disc, quoit; dish; round mirror; reliquary”), probably of Pre-Greek origin.
