Etymology of DISCOMMENDS

The word "discommends" is derived from the Old French word "descomander", which means "to blame" or "to find fault with". It combines the prefix "dis-" meaning "opposite" or "negation", and the verb "commend", which means "to praise" or "to recommend". The addition of the prefix "dis-" changes the meaning of "commend" to "to express disapproval" or "to criticize". Over time, "descomander" evolved into "discommend" in Middle English, and eventually, the plural form "discommends" emerged.
