+ '''displiceō''' (present infinitive displicēre, perfect active displicuī, supine displicitum); second conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ Gellius has a perfect ''displicitus est''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|dis-|t=apart, not]] and [[m|la|placeō|t=to please]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan derives ⟨placeō⟩ from [[itc-pro|*plak-ē-]] and [[ine-pro|*pl(e)h₂k-|t=to agree, be pleasant]], whose only direct cognates are the Tocharian words [[m|txb|plāki|t=permission]] and [[m|xto|plākäm]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) who has “should what pleases you displease me?” in the ''Miles gloriosus''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to displease or offend, with the dative, as opposed to ''placēre''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Reflexively it is to be dissatisfied with oneself, as Terence's “how wholly displeased I am with myself now”, and also to be unwell.^(OLD 2012) Impersonally it is said of what is disapproved of, as Cicero's “that the people should approve of the king and disapprove of the exiles”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Lewis and Short call it rare but classical;^(Lewis & Short 1879) the TLL notes it is absent from Lucretius, Caesar and Sallust.^(TLL) Church Latin glosses it “displease”.^(Stelten 1995)
