Etymology
The word 'dismaller' seems to be a neologism derived from the combination of the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'to reverse' and 'smaller,' which is the comparative form of 'small.' The prefix 'dis-' is often used in English to indicate a reversal or negation of the root word. The formation of 'dismaller' may reflect the influence of informal or colloquial language where speakers create new words to express specific actions or ideas that may not have a formal term. While it may not be officially recognized in standard dictionaries, it captures the essence of making something smaller. Its usage aligns with a growing trend in English to form verbs from adjectives, enhancing the expressiveness of the language.
