Etymology of DISCONCERTING

The word "disconcerting" is derived from the verb "disconcert", which comes from the French word "désconcerter". The French term, in turn, originated from the prefix "des-" meaning "not" or "opposite", and the word "concerter" meaning "to bring together" or "to harmonize".
