A discothèque is an Entertainment venue or Club with Recorded Music , played by "Discaires" ( Disk Jockeys ), rather than an on-stage Band . The word derives from the French Word ''discothèque'' (a type of Nightclub ). ''Discothèque'' is a Portmanteau coined around 1941 from '' Disc '' and ''bibliothèque'' (library) by La Discothèque , then located on the Rue de la Huchette street in Paris (Jones + Kantonen, 1999). Previously, most paid entertainment in public venues used live bands. Today the term discothèque is usually synonymous with Nightclub . The term " Disco " was originally a 60s US abbreviation of ''discothèque'', a place where "disco music" was played. SOME HISTORICAL DISCOTHèQUES
