Morphology

disaccord = accord (transparent) = dis + accord

This is a straightforward negative prefixation of 'accord', giving the sense 'not agree' or 'fail to correspond'.

Etymology

Disaccord is formed from dis- meaning 'not' and accord meaning 'agreement', the same idea in the common word accord. So disaccord means 'not in agreement' or to fail to match someone else's view.
