Etymology
The word "a discrepância" comes from the Latin 'discrepantia', which means disagreement or difference. It entered Portuguese through Late Latin and retains the meaning of a lack of agreement or harmony between elements. Did you know? The root 'dis-' means 'apart' and 'crepare' means 'to rattle', so it originally suggested things that 'do not sound the same.'
