Discontent

noun/dis-kuhn-TENT/

Meaning

A feeling of being unhappy or not satisfied with a situation.

In context

His discontent showed on his face when he saw his marked test.

Remember it

'Dis-' means not, so discontent is simply not content — not happy or satisfied.

Use it well

Use for a settled mood of unhappiness, not a quick flash of anger.
