Dissension is disagreement inside a group that has started to pull the group apart. It is not two strangers who never belonged together, and it is more than a polite “I see it differently.” There is strain, often anger, and the shared work suffers. A club with dissension splits into camps. A government with dissension cannot pass a law. It is a fairly formal noun. In everyday talk people say arguing, fighting, or not getting along. You will see it in news about parties, committees, teams, and churches.
紛爭、不和、內部分歧、內鬨。
組成From Latin dissensio, through French and Middle English. Related to dissent: dis- (“apart”) + Latin sentire (“to feel”) — feeling apart from the others.
