Discotheques

/ˌdɪskəˈtɛks/ noun

Definition

Plural of discotheque: nightclubs or dance halls where recorded pop music is played and people dance, especially popular from the 1960s onward.

Etymology

From French discothèque (coined in the 1950s), combining disco (from disque, 'phonograph record') + thèque (from Greek theke, 'storage place'). Literally means a storage place for records.

Kelly Says

The word 'discotheque' was coined in France in the 1950s when DJs realized they could make their own venues by playing records instead of hiring live bands—it literally means a library of phonograph records!
