Morphology
disconnection = disconnect (transparent) = dis + connect + ion
The noun is formed in a standard way from the verb 'disconnect' with '-ion' to denote the act or state.
Etymology
The word disconnection starts with dis- meaning 'not' or 'apart' and comes from connect meaning 'join together'. So a disconnection is when things are not joined, like a cable being unplugged or people feeling apart from each other.
