Discordous

/dɪsˈkɔɹdəs/ adjective

Definition

Discordant or disagreeing; characterized by conflict or lack of harmony.

Etymology

From discord with the -ous suffix (Latin -osus), which creates adjectives meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by.' This is an archaic or variant form of 'discordant.'

Kelly Says

The -ous suffix comes directly from Latin and is used in hundreds of English words like dangerous, marvelous, and ridiculous—it's one way English borrowed Latin's way of describing things!
