dissonance
意味: A lack of harmony or agreement between things; in music, a combination of sounds that clashes or feels unresolved.
Dissonance is most widely encountered in the phrase 'cognitive dissonance,' the psychological discomfort of holding contradictory beliefs simultaneously. In music theory, dissonant intervals create tension that typically resolves to consonance. In broader writing, it describes any jarring mismatch — between rhetoric and reality, policy and practice, or style and substance. The word implies something actively uncomfortable rather than merely different.
