Definition
Of, relating to, or resembling a distyle or building with two columns; a rare or dialectal term.
Etymology
Formed from distyle (architecture term meaning having two columns) + -y suffix, creating an adjective. Related to Greek di- (two) + stylos (column).
Kelly Says
This ultra-rare architectural adjective shows how English can form descriptive terms from specific technical vocabulary, though most people would simply say 'distyle' as an adjective rather than 'disty.'
