The dys effectively means disorder of. Lexic reading and writing ability. It’s a disorder of reading.

In the same family you have some others. Dyscalcula is a disorder of maths ability. Dyspraxia is a disorder of motor control.

Science likes Latin based words. Because it’s a dead language, the meanings don’t change/drift. Most scientific language can be deconstructed this way.
