Dissatisfactions

/ˌdɪsætɪsˈfækʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of dissatisfaction; instances of being unhappy, discontented, or not satisfied with something.

Etymology

From 'dis-' plus 'satisfaction' (from Latin satisfactio, meaning enough-doing). The prefix reverses the meaning of satisfaction, creating its opposite. The plural reflects multiple instances of discontent.

Kelly Says

In customer service, companies track 'dissatisfactions' as a negative metric to improve, but it's oddly specific—they could just say 'complaints,' but 'dissatisfactions' sounds more like a scientific measurement of unhappiness!
