Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Possibly from a Vulgar Latin *disvocō, from *vocō, for Latin vacō (“to empty, void”). Compare rare, dialectal, or archaic Romanian dehoca, dezvoca, cf. also Sardinian bogare, debogada, Old French voiier, Occitan desboucà, most of which have senses pertaining to "take/bring out, extract, etc.".[1] Alternatively comparable or linked to Romanian desfăca, although this is less likely.
Verb[edit]
dizvoc first-singular present indicative (past participle dizvucatã)
- to tear something to shreds; dilapidate, damage, wreck
