Etymology

The word 'disharmonious' is derived from the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of', and 'harmonious' which comes from the Greek word 'harmonia' meaning 'agreement' or 'concord'. The term has been used in music to describe discordant sounds and in relationships to signify lack of harmony or agreement.
