Morphology
disconnect = disconnect (semi-transparent) = dis + connect
The noun is formed by conversion from the verb 'disconnect', and its abstract 'gap/lack of agreement' sense is a metaphorical extension of physical separation.
Etymology
Disconnect comes from dis- meaning 'apart' and connect meaning 'join', so a disconnect is when things are not joined — a gap or lack of agreement or understanding between people or ideas.
