Morphology
discommendation = discommend (transparent) = dis + commend + ation
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'discommend', meaning the act or process of criticizing or withdrawing recommendation.
Etymology
Discommendation joins dis- 'not' with commend 'to praise', so it can mean the act of taking back praise or publicly saying you do not recommend someone. That's why it is used for criticism or for taking back a previous recommendation.
