Definition
Disagreement or quarreling, especially within a group that should be unified.
Etymology
From Latin 'dissensio,' derived from 'dis-' (apart) plus 'sentire' (to feel or think). The word entered English in the 14th century and has maintained its meaning of internal conflict.
Kelly Says
Dissension comes from the same Latin root as 'sentiment'—both involve 'feeling'—which is why disagreements are so emotional; you're literally not 'feeling' the same way as others, and that root meaning is baked into the word itself.
