An archaic or formal term for controversy or the act of controvering; heated dispute or debate.
From Late Latin controversia plus the suffix -tion (or -sion), which creates nouns from verbs. Similar to controverse but emphasizes the action.
This word appears in older theological and philosophical texts where controversion referred to formal disputes about doctrine—it's Latin-influenced formality that sounds grander than simply saying 'argument.'
