The Greek prefix dia- means "through" and lyein is "to separate"; from them came the Greek word dialysis, a noun meaning separation.

This word was absorbed later into Latin, but it is not Latin in origin and it has no connection at all with the English word dial (which comes from Latin dies, a day).
