dissenting

/dɪˈsɛnɪŋ/, /dɪˈsɛntɪŋ/ adj

Showing a strongly different opinion, belief, or viewpoint.

Word Origin Dissent comes from Latin dissentire 'to feel apart' — dis- 'apart' + sentire 'to feel.' Dissenting means feeling or thinking differently, especially in opposition to a majority. The root sentire gives us consent (feel together), resent (feel again, bitterness), and sense (perception). So dissenting is literally 'feeling apart' from the group.

adj Showing a strongly different opinion, belief, or viewpoint.

The dissenting opinion was well-argued and persuasive.
