[Noun] | "dis*pro*por*tion" | \ ˌdis-prə-ˈpȯr-shən \
1: lack of proportion, symmetry, or proper relation : disparity; also : an instance of such disparity
Origin: 1555 ;
Borrowed from Middle French & New Latin; Middle French, borrowed from New Latin disprōportiōn-, disprōportiō, from Latin dis- {see: |dis-|dis-} + prōportiōn-, prōportiō "analogy, {see: |proportion:1|proportion:1}";
* Note : A derivation that is perhaps just as likely is back-formation from disprōportiōnāre —see: {disproportionate|disproportionate}. The noun disprōportiō was most likely current in later Medieval Latin, despite the lack of textual attestation, given the fifteenth-century instance of disproportion cited in Dictionnaire du moyen français. Compare also {disproportion:2|disproportion:2}.;
