discomfit

dis com fit |disˈkəmfit dɪsˈkəmfət | ▶verb ( discomfits, discomfiting , discomfited ) [ with obj. ] make (someone ) feel uneasy or embarrassed: he was not noticeably discomfited by her tone. DERIVATIVES dis com fi ture |disˈkəmfiˌCHo͝or |noun ORIGIN Middle English (in the sense ‘defeat in battle ’): from Old French desconfit, past participle of desconfire, based on Latin dis- (expressing reversal ) + conficere ‘put together ’ (see confection ). usage: The words discomfit and discomfort are etymologically unrelated. Further, discomfit is a verb and discomfort is primarily a noun. But in modern use, their principal meanings as a verb have collapsed into one: ‘make (someone ) feel uneasy. ’
