In order to disregard this thread, I think some clarification of the word "regard" and the prefix "dis" is necessary.
The word "regard" entered English via a patois of Northern France, where the word "regardar," which meant "to observe carefully," was created. The word "regard" is related to other English words, which entered the langauge via the same channel, such as "guardian," "garter" (as in "garter belt"), or even "avante garde," which comes directly from modern French. The word also entered the Spanish, from the old Northern French patois, as "guardar." The Old Northern French word, regardar," was a verb produced from a change in pronunciation of the Old German "wer," which entered the Germanic languages from from the Latin "vereri," which has a similar meaning: "to watch or to observe carefully." from which we derive, in English, "verify," or in Latin, "veritas." The word "wer" (pronounced "ver") also entered English directly from the Germanic languages and was mixed with the Old French pronunciation to produce such English words as "reward," "warden," and "award."
The prefix "dis" comes directly from the Latin, where it tended to connote "a taking apart," as in "disassemble" or disestablishmentarianism.
I hope this helps everyone disregard this thread.
The chairman disavows any knowledge of your dissertation and dismisses your discussion, without regard to distant dissimilation or dissemblage.
It is dismissed without prejudice, meaning it can be refiled, or regarded, at a later date in a different Indo-European language.
