	Disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In biology, an intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous joint between vertebrae in the spine of vertebrate animals.
		In mathematics, a disk is a geometrical object.
		Disc came into the English language in the mid-17th century, from the Latin discus, and like already-existing words like whisc or risc, it was spelled with c; disk arose some time later, and was based on the original Greek root diskus.

		A disk or disc is anything that resembles a flattened cylinder in shape.
		Disk came into the English language in the mid-17th century, and was modelled on words such as whisk; disc arose some time later, and was based on the original Latin root discus.

	Compact disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Compact disc technology was later adapted for use as a data storage device, known as a CD-ROM.
		Compact discs are made from a 1.2 mm thick disc of polycarbonate plastic coated with a much thinner layer of super purity aluminium (or rarely, gold, used for its data longevity, such as in some limited-edition audiophile CDs) which is protected by a film of lacquer.
		Consequently, discs are much easier to ruin by scratching their label side, whereas clear-side scratches can be repaired by refilling them with plastic of similar index of refraction.

	Center for Neurological Disorders - The Spine - Herniated Disc
		There are many different terms to describe spinal disc pathology, and all are used differently by different healthcare practitioners.
		It should be kept in mind that all the terms – herniated disc, bulging disk, slipped disk, ruptured disc, etc. – refer to radiographic findings seen on a CT scan or MRI scan (x-rays can indicate disc degeneration but cannot actually image the disc itself).
		While radiographic findings are important, they are not as meaningful in determining the source of the pain (the clinical diagnosis) as the patient’s specific symptoms and the spine specialist’s findings on physical exam.

		A couple of people have said "disk as in diskette" now, but I always thought that a 5.25" was a "disk" and a 3.5" was a "diskette", which would imply that diskette was derived from "smaller disk".
