- 1爭論；論辯（書面；舊時也指學術辯難）
A disputation is an argument — a discussion where people cannot agree, and they keep pushing their sides. In older and more formal English, it also named a set-piece debate, the kind students once held in universities: one person put a claim, another tried to tear it down, with rules. Today the word feels . News and everyday talk usually say argument, debate, or dispute instead. Though actually, when someone chooses disputation, they often want that older, slightly academic flavour — not a kitchen quarrel, but a clash of reasons. It can sound cool or it can sound stuffy, depending on who is speaking.
組成dispute + -ation (the act of), from Old French disputation, from Latin disputatio.
