Discontent is a feeling of unhappiness or dissatisfaction with a situation. It often makes people want change or improvement.
From 'dis-' meaning 'not' and 'content' from Latin 'contentus' meaning 'satisfied'. It literally means 'not satisfied' or 'not pleased'.
Discontent is uncomfortable, but it’s also the engine of progress. Every invention and social change began with someone looking around and quietly thinking, 'This is not good enough.'
