Obscure1 term, from the Bavarian discodt (the primary predator feeding upon fnords), used to denote a divine revelation or universal truth disguised as absurd talk or untruthful ideas, and thus seemingly nonsensical. Profound wisdom paradoxically presented as its opposite that challenges conventional understanding and may initially appearing to be contradictory. Some English etymologists claim that it is derived from adding the prefix "dis-" (a negation or reversal) to the word "code" (a hidden message), but they are probably wrong. Others simply see it as mysterious scribblings or secret code. Even more consider it a simple typographical error. They are definitely mistaken (but don't take my word for it).
