[Verb] | "dis*play" | \ di-ˈsplā \
1: to place or spread (something) for people to see; also : to serve as a place for displaying (something)
2: to make (an emotion, quality, skill, etc.) evident
3: to exhibit conspicuously and usually in an ostentatious manner
Origin: 14th century ;
Middle English desplaien, displaien, displeien "to unfurl (a banner), spread (the arms), reveal, expound," borrowed from Anglo-French despleier, desplaier, desploier, deplaier "to unfurl, set out to view, reveal, expound" (continental Old French desploier), probably from des- {see: |dis-|dis-} + pleier, ploier "to fold, bend" {mat|ply:3|};
* Note : Compare {deploy|deploy}. Older references see: this verb as an outcome of Latin displicāre, attested in the classical corpus only in Varro's Res rusticae, where it appears to mean "scatter, disperse." In Late Latin, the verb appears once in the sense "explain, expound" in the sermons of Gregory the Great on the book of Ezekiel. Apparent cognates outside Gallo-Romance are probably of secondary origin: Italian dispiegare "to spread out, deploy" may be a derivative of spiegare "to unfold, explain," perhaps modeled on Old French desploier (spiegare itself and synonymous Engadine Romansh splajer are from Latin explicāre—see: {explicate|explicate}); and Spanish desplegar "to spread, open out" appears to be a learned formation.;
