disapprobation

Etymology

dis- + approbation

noun

  1. An act or expression of condemnation or disapproval, especially on moral grounds.
    No one seems to think so, however. Yet they view my arrival with a knapsack on my back with cold disapprobation, as unseemly as if I had arrived riding on a pig. I ought to be in a carriage, and the knapsack ought to be a new suitcase. 1921, D. H. Lawrence, “Chapter I”, in Sea and Sardinia
