I love words like that- words that include a prefix, but aren't used without that prefix. Repeat, disconsolate, abstention, so on. If you can work the base word without the prefix into a conversation it's alway a victory.

So that one is now archaic, but back in the day (Well, the Middle Ages, anyhow) was commonly used.
