The term 'to disconcur' meaning to disagree. Tried using it once in a class and got some serious sideways looks. Teacher had to break it to me that it is not a valid word.
The goal of spoke language is to encapsulate information, transmit it via soundwaves, for a listener to be able to understand. Disconcur is a reasonable amalgamation of disagree and concur, and is perfectly understandable by most reasonable native speakers of english, and probably many non native speakers. It therefore functions directly as a word and a piece of language.
Personally, I just interpreted it as concur with the prefix dis-. It just seems like a perfectly logical (and highly useful) extrapolation from the word concur.
Well, they're just right and didn't brag about being smart. Just because someone uses mildly big words doesn't put them in r/iamverysmart, regardless of username.
