The state or quality of being disparate; fundamental difference or inequality between things.
From Latin disparatio, formed from disparatus (unmatched). This is a more formal or archaic noun form compared to 'disparateness,' used more in philosophical and theological writing.
Medieval theologians loved this word when discussing the 'disparation' between divine and human nature—it gave them a fancy Latin term for the ultimate gap between God and creation!
