(Latin: dissentio, disagree)

A more or less contemptuous term restricted to Protestants, (also to Catholics at one time, 1791) who disagree or dissent in matters of doctrine and usage accepted by the Established Church of England. Since the middle of the 19th century they have been included under the title Nonconformists.
