The process of throwing something out of balance or the state of being unbalanced.
From disequilibrate plus the suffix -ation, forming a noun that describes the action or result. Built on Latin roots meaning 'to reverse' and 'to balance.'
Economists use this term to describe economic crises—when markets are suddenly disequilibrated by a shock, they enter a period of disequilibration before finding a new balance. It's more precise than just saying 'imbalance.'
