Etymology
From Greek 'diskos' (disc) and 'thēkē' (case, container). Literally a 'record library'. Cognate with English 'discotheque'.
Memory Tips
It's almost identical to the English 'discotheque'. The ending '-thek' is also in 'Bibliothek' (library), so think of it as a 'library of discs' (records).
