Morphology
incongruence = congruence (transparent) = in + congru + ence
This sense is a straightforward negation of 'congruence', so learners who know the base can infer 'lack of congruence'.
Etymology
Incongruence comes from the parts in- 'not' and congruent 'fitting together' or 'agreeing'. So an incongruence is when things do not fit or agree, for example promises that do not match actions.
