(The prefix des-, dis-, was here a mere variant of de-, owing to the frequent equivalence and confusion of these prefixes (see de- I. 6); but it appears to have been taken by the 17th c. legal antiquaries in the privative sense (dis- 4); hence the erroneous explanation of Disrationare in Blount's Law Dict. ‘contrarium ratiocinando asserere, vel quod assertum est ratiocinando destruere’, and cf. J. C. Blomfield Hist. Souldern (1893) 12 note.)
