Trivia: From which language does the word “disco” originate?
Italian
French
Spanish
Polish
The correct answer is French
So why is this answer correct? : During the Nazi occupation of France in the 1940s, underground clubs sprang up in Paris where people could meet to listen to the latest American jazz records. In a play on the French word for library, “bibliotheque,” these clubs became known as “discotheques” (the French word for record is “disque.”) Shortened to “disco,” the word became synonymous with nightclubs and the music they played.
