Disaccordance

From disaccord + -ance suffix (which creates nouns indicating state or condition). This follows the Latin-influenced pattern of English noun formation from the 1400s onward.

Kelly Says

This word shows how English loves stacking suffixes—dis + accord + ance—to create layers of meaning, each layer adding precision to express a specific quality of disagreement.
