MORE ABOUT DISCUSS

What does discuss mean?

Discuss means to have a conversation about

or talk about a particular topic, 

especially to examine it more closely, debate it, or figure out a solution.

 

You can discuss something with another person or multiple people, 

or you can discuss something

bytalking or writing about it for an audience. 

Discuss tends to be used in contexts 

in which the topic is at least somewhat serious. 

The noun form of discuss is discussion.

Example: Listen, class, the purpose of breaking into small groups is to discuss your projects—not to chat about your personal life.

 

Where does discuss come from?

The first records of discuss come from the 1300s. 

It comes from the Latin word discussus, 

meaning “struck apart,” “shaken,” or “scattered.” 

Discussus derives from the Latin verb discutere,

which is formed from the prefix dis-, meaning “apart,” 

and cutere, a form of the verb quatere, “to shake” or “to strike.”

 

This origin provides a great image 

for what it means to discuss something. 

When two or more people discuss something,

they are often said to be hashing it out, 

meaning they are laying out all the issues 

and perhaps analyzing and even debating each one. 

 

This is done 

so that everyone in the conversation has the same information,

and especially so that they can come to a conclusion about 

or a solution for the thing being discussed. 

 

To discuss something in this way 

is synonymous with the term talk it over.

 

But you can also discuss a topic without having a conversation. 

Discuss can simply mean “to talk or write about a particular topic 

(for a perceived or real audience),” 

as in During this presentation, 

I will discuss the long-term effects of reading to children 

or The cases discussed in this paper are all related. 

 

In all cases, using the word discuss usually implies 

that the topic is at least somewhat serious, formal, or academic.

 

Discuss also has a few more specific but much less common uses 

that relate to the collection of debt. 

Very rarely, discuss can also mean “to eat or drink enthusiastically.”
