    I didn't even know the word even existed! Though I am aware of "dissertation."

    dissert

    PRONUNCIATION:
    (di-SUHRT)
    MEANING:
    verb intr.: To speak or write at length on a subject.

    ETYMOLOGY:
    From Latin disserere (to arrange in order), from dis- (apart, away) + serere (to join). Ultimately from the Indo-European root ser- (to line up), that is also the source of words such as series, assert, desert (to abandon), desert (a dry sandy region), sort, consort, and sorcerer.
