Analysis. tā-disa: tā (that, pointing to something just mentioned) + disa (kind, sort, appearance), literally "that-kind".

Etymology. From tā (demonstrative, from PIE *to-) + disa (appearance, sort; related to Sanskrit deśa "place, region", and ultimately to the root meaning "to show" or "to point"). The compound idiomatically means "of that type" or "resembling that".
