Definition
Lacking harmony; disagreeing or incongruous; harsh and jarring in sound. Can describe both literal musical dissonance and figurative lack of agreement or consistency.
Etymology
From Latin 'discordare' meaning 'to disagree,' formed from 'dis-' (apart) and 'cor/cord-' (heart). Originally meant 'hearts apart' or disagreement, later extended to describe harsh, clashing sounds.
Kelly Says
Remember 'discord' = 'dis-cord'—the 'cord' (like harmony/agreement) is broken! Think of a guitar with broken cords making harsh sounds, or people whose hearts are 'apart' instead of together.
