Etymology
The term 'discording' is derived from the noun 'discord', which originates from the Latin word 'discordia', meaning 'disagreement' or 'disunion'. It is composed of the prefix 'dis-', suggesting separation or negation, and 'cord', stemming from the Latin 'cor', meaning 'heart'. The term has evolved over centuries, with its usage in the English language documented as early as the 15th century. Originally, 'discord' referred to a lack of harmony in music, reflecting its etymological roots in the emotional or moral aspects of conflict. Over time, 'discord' expanded to encapsulate various forms of disagreement and contention in multiple contexts, including personal relationships and societal structures. The verb form 'discording' is likely a contemporary evolution used to describe ongoing instances of disagreement or disputes.
