Definitions and meaning of disk

disk

Etymology

From Ancient Greek δίσκος (dískos, “a circular plate suited for hurling”), from δικέω (dikéō, “to hurl, to launch”). Doublet of dais, desk, disc, discus, dish, and diskos.

Pronunciation

  • enPR: dĭsk, IPA(key): /dɪsk/
  • Rhymes: -ɪsk

Noun

disk (plural disks)

  1. A thin, flat, circular plate or similar object.
  2. (figuratively) Something resembling a disk.
  3. (anatomy) An intervertebral disc
  4. (dated) A vinyl phonograph/gramophone record.
  5. (computer hardware) Ellipsis of floppy disk - removable magnetic medium or a hard disk - fixed, persistent digital storage.
  6. (computer hardware, nonstandard) A disc - either a CD-ROM, an audio CD, a DVD or similar removable storage medium.
  7. (agriculture) A type of harrow.
  8. (botany) A ring- or cup-shaped enlargement of the flower receptacle or ovary that bears nectar or, less commonly, the stamens.

Usage notes

In most varieties of English, disk is the correct spelling for magnetic media (hence hard disk or disk drive), whereas the variant disc is usually preferred with optical media (hence compact disc or disc film). Thus, if referring to a physical drive or older media (3.5" or 5.25" diskettes) the k is used, but c is used for newer (optical based) media. For all other uses, disc is standard in Commonwealth English and disk in American English.

Less commonly, in British English, disc has been used for magnetic disks, as in floppy disc and discette. Such usage may be considered nonstandard.
