The act or process of disagreeing, clashing, or showing disagreement; a state of discord or inconsistency.
From 'discrepate' plus the suffix '-tion' (from Latin '-tio'), which turns verbs into nouns describing actions. The root remains 'discrepare' (to sound differently).
The '-tion' suffix is remarkably productive in English—it's been our primary way of turning verbs into nouns for hundreds of years, creating words like 'creation,' 'action,' and 'nation' all from the same pattern.
