Noun

pl -cies a conflict or variation between facts, figures, or claims [Latin discrepare to differ in sound]

USAGE: Discrepancy is sometimes wrongly used where disparity is meant. A discrepancy exists between things which ought to be the same; it can be small but is usually significant. A disparity is a large difference between measurable things such as age, rank, or wages.
