Someone who is disconcerted has already been thrown off a little. They feel slightly confused, , or worried, and it often shows: a pause, a flush, a lost sentence. It is the -ed form of , used of the person (not of the thing that caused it). You can be disconcerted by a question, a silence, a smile that does not fit, or a piece of news. The feeling is mild but real; they have not fallen apart — they have just lost their smooth front. Fairly formal; everyday English might say taken or thrown.

Ruffled; upset and embarrassed.
- I had no consciousness in advance, either of the range or the object of his attack, and I do not know whether I was more disconcerted by the fact that the circuit of that attack covered practically the whole surface of the habitable globe, and that there was no continent in which, during the six months since Parliament last met, the conduct of Lord Salisbury has not had the censure of the right hon. Baronet. I was perhaps somewhat disconcerted at the discovery that, although I had not expected to speak at all, I should have in reply to cover so wide an area; but still more disconcerted was I to find taht the whole speech of the right hon. Baronet was practically an unconcealed attack upon Russia and France.
