dissident (n.)
"one who differs or dissents from others," 1766, in reference to Protestants and other non-Catholics in Poland, from dissident (adj.). General sense of "an opponent or non-conformist with regard to a prevailing opinion, method, etc." is by 1790, at first especially with reference to religion. In the political sense it is used by 1940, coinciding with the rise of 20c. totalitarian systems, especially with reference to the Soviet Union.
dissonant (adj.)
early 15c., dissonaunt, "at variance, disagreeing," from Old French dissonant (13c.) and directly from Latin dissonantem (nominative dissonans), present participle of dissonare "differ in sound," from dis- "apart" (see dis-) + sonare "to sound, make a noise" (from PIE root *swen- "to sound"). The meaning "discordant in sound, harsh" is from 1570s. Related: Dissonantly.
cognizant (adj.)
"having knowledge;" in law, "competent to take legal or judicial notice," 1744, back-formation from cognizance.
cognitive (adv.)
1580s, "pertaining to cognition," with -ive + Latin cognit-, past participle stem of cognoscere "to get to know, recognize," from assimilated form of com "together" (see co-) + gnoscere "to know," from PIE root *gno- "to know."
Taken over by psychologists and sociologists after c. 1940. Cognitive dissonance "psychological distress cause by holding contradictory beliefs or values" (1957) apparently was coined by U.S. social psychologist Leon Festinger, who developed the concept. Related: Cognitively.
One appears to be a a Republican in a Democrat controlled legislative body while the other is a concept originating in the mind of a doctor attempting to analyze the mind of another.
Note the dissident is a NOUN while everything else is an adjective.
Note also the similarity of both phrases when spoken.
If given a choice it is preferred to be a NOUN rather than a verb or adjective!
