The act of criticizing, blaming, or expressing disapproval of something or someone.
From dis- + commendation (Latin commendatio, 'praise or recommendation'). The prefix dis- inverts the meaning, creating a noun meaning the opposite of praise: blame or criticism.
While 'commendation' gets you an award or recognition, 'discommendation' is basically an official roast—it's criticism dressed up in bureaucratic clothing, making disapproval sound official and unavoidable.
