Disturbation

/ˌdɪstɜːrˈbeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act or process of disturbing; a state of being disturbed or disruptive action.

Etymology

From Latin disturbatio, derived from disturbare (to throw into confusion). The -ation suffix (from Latin -atio) converts the verb into a noun representing the action or result.

Kelly Says

This archaic noun reveals how English once had a word for every conceivable disturbance-related concept; now we'd just say 'the disturbance' instead of 'the disturbation,' showing how language naturally prunes redundant terms.
