Root Explanation
Disrelish → It is formed from "dis-" (meaning not) and "relish" (from Old French *releschier*, meaning to enjoy or take pleasure in). The word "disrelish" means to not enjoy or to have a lack of pleasure in something.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('dis-') enjoying something ('relish') — that's why disrelish means to not enjoy.
