An opening to "closing" (3)

I believe the answer is:

dis

(Other definitions for dis that I've seen before include "Treat without respect - god of the underworld" , "Prefix denoting the opposite of the base word" , "Hades" , "The god Pluto" , "Be rude" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
